Alexander (Greek: Αλέξανδρος, Aléxandros; 1 August 1893 – 25 October 1920) was King of Greece from 11 June 1917 until his death three years later in 1920, at the age of 27.
Alexander died on 25 October 1920 in Athens after being bitten by a Barbary macaque at his palace in Athens. His injury became infected and soon developed sepsis.[1]
