Unless you count the "mother" he picked up from Persia ... in which case, he's part-Persian, too.Semiramis wrote:Half-Turkish, he is... our boy...rocktupac wrote: LOL

It must be hard, having three mothers ... it's bad enough with only one, chez moi.

Seems our conquering invader appropriated parents as he went. For some there are never enough parents in the world... or worlds with parents as yet appropriated.

Wicked men, you sin against your fathers, who conquered the whole world under Philip and Alexander.

This could be fun..."I would rather excel others in amount of mothers than in the extent of my powers and dominion."

Don't forget Nectanebo II as a possible father....
So...three mothers and three fathers (which is a nice symmetry)!

Nectanebo II? Didn't know about this one. Do tell the story rjones.rjones2818 wrote:Don't forget Nectanebo II as a possible father....

Re: Alexander The Great - True Origins (Trailer)
In the Alexander Romance, it is proposed that Nectanebo II, the last native-born Pharoah, fled Egypt and took refuge in Macedonia, where he impregnated Olympias and was therefore Alexander's father. This was obviously later propaganda to legitimise Alexander's claim to be Pharoah, after 332 BC.Semiramis wrote:Nectanebo II? Didn't know about this one.

Re: Alexander The Great - True Origins (Trailer)
Well to reply to the OP, Alexander was Macedonian and Illyrian, and both territories were part of the Greek world. Albania was first introduced as a term during the Byzantine empire, but had nothing to do with modern Albania.
But other than that the controversy is ridiculous because we all know that Alexander was an alien ;D
