Historical Figures

What was the number of Alexanders family?

The exact number of Alexander's family members is not precisely known, as historical records may vary. However, some members of Alexander the Great's family who are commonly mentioned include:

1. Father: Philip II of Macedon

2. Mother: Olympia of Epirus

3. Wife: Roxana of Bactria (sometimes referred to as Roxane)

4. Son: Alexander IV of Macedon, born to Roxana after Alexander's death

5. Half-brother: Arrhideus (later Philip III), who became king after Alexander's death

6. Stepmother: Cleopatra Eurydice, Philip II's seventh and final wife

7. Uncle: Alexander I of Epirus, Olympia's brother

There may have been other relatives but there's limited information about it because the primary sources that focus on Alexander's personal life mainly center around the years preceding his conquests until his untimely death at the age of 32 in 323 BCE.
