Alexander the great was the King of Macedonia from 336 BCE until 323 BCE and son of Philip II of Macedon. He was born in Pella on the northern Greek Peninsula. Alexander came from tThe Argead dynasty (Greek: Ἀργεάδαι) an ancient Greek royal house who were the founders and the ruling dynasty of Macedon from about 700 to 310 BCE. Their tradition, as described in ancient Greek historiography, traced their origins to Argos, in southern Greece, hence the name Argeads or Argives.

Alexander and his father Philip were Argives and their dynasty which founded Macedonia was called the Argead Dynasty. The words "Argead" and "Argive" derive from the Greek Ἀργεῖος (Argeios), "of or from Argos", which is first attested in Homer, where it was also used as a collective designation for the Greeks ("Ἀργείων Δαναῶν", Argive Danaans). The Argead dynasty claimed descent from the Temenids of Argos, in the Peloponnese, whose legendary ancestor was Temenus, the great-great-grandson of Heracles.
