What was the sexual orientation of Alexander the Great?
It has not yet been proven that Alexander the Great was gay, but he was married to a women to have a child.There is no proof that Alexander the Great ever had sexual relations with men. Any evidence to the contrary is purely circumstantial.There does not seem to be a definitive answer to this question. And since we can't ask Alexander about his sexual orientation, it seems this debate will never be settled.I remember watching a History Channel program that pretty much asserted that he was gay, as if it were an indisputable fact. But if you Google "Alexander the Great was gay" (or similar search words) about half the websites seem to say yes, he was gay, and the other half say "it's just a rumor, there's no real evidence, blah blah blah..."AnswerThere is no proof that Alexander the Great ever had sexual relations with men. Any evidence to the contrary is purely circumstantial.AnswerThroughout his life, Alexander the Great's greatest documented bond was with his boyhood friend Hephaestion. Arrian recorded Alexander and Hephaestion presenting wreath on the tombs of Achilles and Patroclus (who are both acknowledged by Plato and Aeschylus as being lovers). This was evidently a symbollic declaration of love. Upon Hephaestion's death, Alexander was recorded as having entered into a state of horrible depression, one which would follow him to the grave just a year later. Such was his suffering that he spread his mourning throughout the empire and elevated Hephaestion to divinity, creating shrines in his honor and establishing a cult. Alexander was also an avid employer of political marriages, uniting his generals to defeated daughters of kings and noblemen in efforts to extend his empire into Asia. It would not be farfetched to conclude that his unions to Roxana, Stateira II and Parysatis (all conquered Persian noblewomen) were likewise heavily politically motivated.What the sexual orientation of Alexander "truly" was is left to the sands of history, as human sexuality at that time and place was understood, performed and internalized differently than today. On the other hand, the relationship between Alexander and Hephaestion and how deep and loving it was needs to be remembered and not modified as mere "friends" as is often the case in textbooks.History tells us he was bi-sexual.
