Unless you count the "mother" he picked up from Persia ... in which case, he's part-Persian, too.
It must be hard, having three mothers ... it's bad enough with only one, chez moi.

Particularly when you're a proper "mother" yourself.
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.

This could be fun...

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

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.

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
