Alexander the Great Family Tree

[@UsefulCharts]

Update: Okay, I was able to edit the video in order to remove the misleading comment I made about Alexander being Macedonian and not Greek. Actually, he was both. At the time, the ancient Macedonians were a group that lived on the borders of the main Greek world. But they were still Greek. It's just that historians often make the distinction between the Greeks of the Golden Age and the Macedonian-led Greeks from Phillip/Alexander onwards. That's all I was trying to say. I was certainly not claiming that Alexander was Macedonian according to the modern definition. Sorry for the confusion.

Historians make a distiction between the Classical Greeks (Athens, Sparta.,) and the other Hellenes, but they were all Hellenic/Greeks. For example, Alexander's Mother was from Epirus, which like Macedonia are Greek. Consequently, both Epirus and Macedonia are provinces in modern day Greece.

[@lamastu2156]

All these where Greeks just at specific time important was Athens and Sparta. So in modern USA why all the time they say Washington DC and New York but don't refer to some forgotten villages somewhere in the central American desert who even Americans don't know who are. At the classical times the name of Macedon was referred many times and also 7 times in Iliad, so 8 think the most people who they like t o open their mouth but not books is better to have knowledge first because if you don't have knowledge you don't have right of opinion (Plato)

One interesting fact that not many people are aware of is that, one of the Greek Royal Houses that ruled in the Byzantine Empire, was the Argead Dynasty. Descending from the city of Argos in southern Greece, the Argead Royal House was the ancestor parent house of Philip II, father of Alexander the Great.. A dynasty linking the Hellenistic era with the Byzantine Empire, almost 15 centuries…

I believe Roxana was a bactrian Princess. Cuz in Afghanistan we were being taught, that in order to improve his relationship with the King of Bactria, he (Alexander) married the daughter of the King(Roxana). And I am 100% sure Roxana is a Persian Name and she was from central Asia.

[@outerspace7391]

This is true, Roxana was Persian.

[@srinivasaraotatavarti5676]

Close enough, but he fell in love with her and decided to marry her. It happened to be a good political move too. Also, she was in present day Uzbekistan when he met her; her father made her, her siblings and her mother stay in a fortress called the Sogdian Rock that was supposed to be impregnable to keep her safe. She could have been Sogdian or Bactrian. Anyway, Alexander captured the fortress. He fell in love with her on sight while he was surveying the captives, and decided to marry her. She was his captive, but he still treated her, her family and the other captives exceptionally well, as always. Her father found out that he was interested in her, and presented himself. Alexander treated him with all due respect, and asked him for her hand in marriage to him, to which she accepted.

[@auraledgereal]

It's an Iranian name rather persian one. Roshanak is the real form of that name. She was a Sogdian.

[@Theodoros_Kolokotronis]

Like most words in the Greek language that have a solid etymology and an ancient background, Alexander’s name (Alexandros in Greek) derives from the ancient Greek components alexo (I defend) and aner (man), literally “Defender of Men”.

Αncient Macedonians were Greeks.

To claim otherwise is sheer nonsense. Since there are not any archaeological evidence backing this claim up, it will always remain just that, a claim.

The body is in Afghanistan. Roxana was a barbarian princess from what’s today the province of Balkh in northern central Afghanistan. Their son, Alexander IV was born there. Alex IV was later assassinated in Greece. The saying goes that he moved his father to Afghanistan where he was born long before the Romans but the exact place is unknown, just that he was buried where he fell in love with Afghanistan. Tyson talks about some of it on his podcast about how he fell in love with the place.

[@hughcapetien]

This chart should put to rest that Alexander the Great had another child - a daughter name unknown, who married into the Seleucid dynasty. Some genealogical charts have an obscure name called "Heraklid" a descendant from the legendary line of Hercules as that daughter. She was supposed to have married Archaeos I 320-275 BC a Seleucid prince of Syria - the son of King Seleucis I "The Nikator" 354BC - 282 BC another companion of Alexander. This couple became the common ancestors to King Antiochus III, "The Great" of Syria 242 BC to 187 BC. The line descends from Antiochus III all the way down to the era of King Herod of Judaea (30 BC) whose granddaughter (unknown name) married a prince Darius of Parthia. This prince Darius became the father of two kings of Parthia: Vonones I, died 12 AD., and Vonones II 10 BC to 51 AD. Both born in the later stages of the emperor Augustus of Rome. Vonones II too had several sons of which Vologases I became king of Parthia. From Vologases I and his sons it descended down to the "Mamikonian" dynasty c. 250 AD. In later centuries, the "Mamikonian's" intermarried into some of the Byzantine dynasties after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, the result of which in the 10th century, a Byzantine princess named Theophano Skleraina - a "Mamikonian" married a Western European monarch of the Holy Roman Empire named Otto II, the grandson of King Henry I, "The Fowler" a descendant of Charlemagne. I don't believe any of the stories that Alexander the Great had any descendants to this day.

[@stellarconcealment]

Where's the evidence for this daughter of Alexander? Genuinely interested to know. Can't find any reference to her in the sources on Alexander's life, or in regards to Prince Achaeus. Who was her mother?

[@srinivasaraotatavarti5676]

He didn't have a daughter. There is no evidence for that anywhere. An obscure and unreliable source tells us that Roxana miscarried once previously in India, where she buried their baby, which according to the source, seems to have been a daughter. But there isn't evidence that he had a living daughter. Even our most unreliable sources say he was very disinterested in sex, so the fact that he didn't have any descendants other than Alexander IV isn't hard to believe.

[@deanmoriarty9820]

The problem my friend is that there is a dubious misunderstanding between the ancient Macedonias , who were as greeks as the Athenians as the Spartans etc and for that reason they participated in the ancient Olympic games who were only for Greeks, and the region called Macedonia which arbitrarily its borders are extended whoever ones wants and so people from Slav descent think that they have the right to call themselves Macedonians cause they live in this region. But for me the name Macedonia should not be used for geographical purposes because let me say it is history-charged. But lets not kid ourselves the misunderstanding created is intentional and has political roots.

[@maroulio2067]

[@HVLLOW99]

Macedonians are descended from Argonite colonizers. Macedonians considered themselves Hellenic and they have the same gene type as Greeks. From the 5 tribes that migrated down from the Danube region and conquered Mycenae.

[@douggieharrison6913]

I dont think living next to Greece and participating in their games is solid evidence that the Macedonian considered themselves Greek, rather much similar to the Greeks, because at one point they and the ancestors of their kings were Greek. The root word for Hellenic stems from the "hellas" which is the original word for Greek. So historians are not doubting the nature of their Greek origins. What isn't as commonly known is that they had spent 200 years being a separate kingdom with a few brief stints as a vassal state under the Persian empire. After these two centuries was when Phillip II came and dominated Greek states until Alexander took over and dominated the world. Yes they were ancestors of Greeks. Yes they were very much like the Greeks. But it is important that no matter how alike they were, they were a separate kingdom with an entirely different governing system and many of its own cultural norms, including it's own identity. In 1000 years would you consider Tibetans as Chinese? Just because majority of their history was spent living in the massive shadow of their distant ancestors does not mean that Tibetans are not their own people. Only difference is Tibetans don't have nearly as much independence now as ancient Macedon did then. 200 years is a long time to become your own nation, kingdom, and people. USA just made it there a few decades past

Alexander IV was died at age 13 without heir so after him it was Phillip III

[@jay2159]

Both co-ruled, Philip III died in 317, and Alexander IV died in 309. Then a 4 yr interregnum followed, Cassander then declared himself king after Antigonios did.
