[Statue Augustus Caesar Octavian]Wikimedia Commons Picture a _wunderkind_. The names of tech giants like Mark Zuckerberg, Evan Spiegel, Steve Jobs, and Bill Gates tend to come to mind when we're thinking about people who achieved extraordinary success at a young age. However, the idea of the young prodigy isn't really a modern phenomenon. From Alexander the Great to Alexander Hamilton, here are 17 individuals throughout history who accomplished incredible things early in life: ALEXANDER THE GREAT CONQUERED COUNTRIES AT 18 Wikimedia Commons Hellenistic conqueror Alexander the Great accomplished extraordinary things during his short time on earth. After the assassination of his father, Philip II of Macedon, Alexander ascended to the throne. Two years later, at the age of 18, he began expanding his domain. He spent most of his reign conquering lands from Greece to India. The result was one of the largest ancient empires and the spread of Hellenistic culture throughout the Mediterranean world. Alexander never lost a battle. In the end, he simply burned out, succumbing to a fever at the age of 32. AUGUSTUS CAESAR (OCTAVIAN) BECAME A ROMAN SENATOR AT 20 Wikimedia Commons Today, Augustus is remembered as the first emperor of Rome. However, his career began long before securing this unprecedented role in 27 B.C.E. In 44 BCE, Augustus was still known as Octavian. He was Julius Caesar's 19-year-old grand nephew, adopted son, and heir. On the Ides of March, Caesar was assassinated while the teenage Octavian was undergoing military training. Instead of fleeing in the aftermath of the murder, Caesar's heir returned to Rome and threw himself into the simmering political intrigue. For years, he navigated multiple shifting alliances, mass killings, and all-out war. Octavian finally prevailed in 31 B.C.E. when his forces defeated Mark Antony and Cleopatra at the Battle of Actium, according to Roman-Empire.net. JOAN OF ARC TURNED A WAR AROUND AT 17 Wikimedia Commons The bloody Hundred Years' War devastated medieval France. However, in 1429, a teenage peasant girl helped turn things around for the country. Backed by a small coterie of supporters, Joan of Arc managed to convince her country's leadership to give her a commanding role in the army. She was 17 years old when she chopped off her hair, donned men's clothes, and rode off to battle, according to History.com. Nine days after she arrived at the besieged city of Orléans, Joan beat back the English forces and became a national hero. Unfortunately, she was eventually captured, given a sham trial, and burned at the stake by the English. She was only 19 when she was executed. The charges were debunked and she was declared a martyr several decades too late. Centuries later, Joan of Arc was canonized as a saint in 1920. SEE THE REST OF THE STORY AT BUSINESS INSIDER

GENEVA (AP) — A summit meeting between the rival leaders of ethnically divided Cyprus in this Swiss city will determine whether the east Mediterranean island nation can finally be reunified after decades of failed attempts and dashed hopes, a U.N. envoy said Monday. Espen Barth Eide said that 19 months of difficult and complicated talks between Greek Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades and breakaway Turkish Cypriot leader Mustafa Akinci have reached their "moment of truth" and that the next few days would decide if a peace deal can be achieved. The two leaders have three days to reach agreement on these and other outstanding issues before the summit takes an international dimension, when the island's so-called guarantors — Greece, Turkey and former colonial overseer Britain — tackle the difficult issue of post-settlement security arrangements. The U.N. envoy underscored the talks' "Cypriot ownership" in order to avoid a reprise of a 2004 U.N. brokered deal that three-quarters of Greek Cypriots rejected in a referendum as unfairly weighted against them.
