Where was Alexander the great from originally?

Answer 1

Alexander III of Macedon, commonly known as Alexander the great (Greek: Ἀλέξανδρος ὁ Μέγας, Alexandros ho Mégas), was a king (basileus) of the Ancient Greek kingdom of Macedon and a member of the founding Argead Dynasty that migrated from Argos in southern Greece. Born in Pella in 356 BCE, Alexander succeeded his father, Phillip II, to the throne at the age of twenty. Pella (Greek: Πέλλα), is an ancient city located in Central Macedonia. It was probably built as the capital of the kingdom by Archelaus I, replacing the older palace-city of Aigai although there appears to be some possibility that it may have been created by Amyntas. In antiquity, Pella was a strategic port connected to the Thermaic Gulf by a navigable inlet, but the harbour and gulf have since silted up, leaving the ancient site landlocked. On the site of the ancient city is the Archaeological Museum of Pella, where many of the ancient Greek art, architecture and inscriptions etc. of the ancient Macedonians can be viewed.
