Was Alexander the Great Muslim

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. As all Greeks, Alexanders religion was the polytheistic 12 Gods of Mt Olympus.

• 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.
