Alexander III of Macedon Alexander was the son of Macedonian King Phillip II. Since his childhood Homer's heroic poems were favourite books of the heir of throne. And Alexander considered Achilles, the hero of the Trojan War, and mythical athlete Hercules as his idols. The huge power, which he created, appeared to be unstable and was divided by his military leaders. But the Greek culture distributed in Mesopotamia, Iran, Syria, Judea and Egypt. Alexander the Great from Macedonia brought together the civilizations of Greece and Middle East and started the period known as the Hellenic Age.

Ibn Hisham, an early Muslim historian, collected Ibn Ishaq's Sira and added his notes to it; in regards to Dhul-Qarnayn, Ibn Hisham noted: "Dhu al-Qarnain is Alexander the Greek, the king of Persia and Greece, or the king of the east and the west, for because of this he was called Dhul-Qarnayn [meaning, 'the two-horned one']..."

Daniel 8:5--8 and 21--22 states that a King of Greece will conquer the Medes and Persians but then die at the height of his power and have his kingdom broken into four kingdoms.

alexander the greak spoke an ancient greek doric dialect.whorshipped the greek gods.fought for greeks.Even the currency in macedonia was the greek drahma.macedonia was an ancient greek kingdom.Ancient Macedonia has no connection with the People from scopje that came to the area 1000 years after alexander.Macedonian is an ancient Doric greek dialect and not a slavo-bulgarian dialect they speak in Scopje.Either u like it or not.

Alex repeatedly confirmed his Greek identity. Never once did he say he was anything but Greek. You slavs should do like him and embrace Hellenism.

Alexander is my favorite war strategist of all time. I don't know near as much about him as I would like or as some of you probably do. However, the subject interests me tremendously. It is incredible that after 11 years of battle he wouldn't lose not even one battle. I had heard the story of him cutting the knot before on the History Channel. That is very inventive and creative and one of the reasons he interests me so much. He is inventive and original. 5 stars; My Favorites
