Genealogy of Alexander, the Great   Aristotle continued, “Alexander your ancestry went back to Heracles on his father’s side descended from his son Temenus and he succeeded by adopted son Caranus and his son was Coenus; his son was Tyrimas and his son was Perdiccas I; his son was Argaeus and his son was Philip I whose son was Eropus and his son was Alcestas; his son was Amyntas I and his son was Alexander Philhellene; his son was Philip Theralles and his son was Amyntas II and your father King Philip II. O, Alexander now let me tell you about your ancestry from your mother, Queen Olympias’s side. She is the granddaughter of Achilles, the Greek hero of the Trojan War and the central character and greatest warrior of Homer's Iliad. His mother was the immortal nymph Thetis, and his father, the mortal Peleus, was the king of the Myrmidons. Achilles' mother Thetis foretold many years before Achilles' birth that there would be a great war. She saw that her only son was to die if he fought in the war. She sought a place for him to avoid fighting in the Trojan War, disguising him as a woman in the court of Lycomedes, the king of Scyros. During that time, he had an affair with the princess, Deidamia, who then gave birth to Neoptolemus I, king of the Molossians, in Epirus. This is your Genealogy. I consider myself to be extremely privileged and lucky to be associated with your legendary ancestry history.” .....Read Quest of Olympias....Sivkishen, Author Enter the description here.
