Macedonian king who conquered much of Asia Minor (9)

I believe the answer is:

alexander

(Other definitions for alexander that I've seen before include "Great king; --- Pope, poet" , "A great Greek ruler?" , "Great Greek military commander" , "Sandy" , "Conquering king of Macedonia" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
