Alexander the great was a Greek from Macedonia as Leonidas was a Greek from Sparta as Pericles was a Greek from Athens. Alexander's father was Philip II of Macedonia and his mother the Mollosian princess from Epirus. Macedonia or Macedon (Greek: Μακεδονία, Makedonía; was an ancient Greek in the northern Greek peninsula of Archaic and Classical Greece, and later the dominant state of Hellenistic Greece. Alexander belonged to the Argead dynasty 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.
