Best Answer

No, he was Macedonian Greek. At the time, Macedonia was a Homeric style kingdom, made up mostly of native Greeks, with a handful of Barbarians from further north. Ethiopians had little to do with any part of Greece at the time, and all coins images of Alexander, as well as his father Philip I of Macedon, clearly portray men with Caucasian features, typical of Greek art.
