Alexander The Great & Macedonian Kings
332 - 310

 The name Macedonian is sometimes applied to the Argead dynasty, which must be distinguished from that of the Ptolemies, though both were of Macedonian origin. This 31 (32) Dynasty of Egypt consisted of three kings. The first was Alexander III of Macedonia (Alexander the Great), whom the Egyptians recognized as a legitimate universal lord, child of the creator god, a sovereign destined by the latter to rule the world, as was every pharaoh. This divine quality was automatically transmitted to his successors, his half brother, Philip Arrhidaeus, and his posthumous son, Alexander Aegos, who were called on to rule, if only nominally, Macedonia and the empire built by Alexander. Pharaoh Alexander the Great spent less than six months in Egypt. Pharaoh Philip Arrhidaeus and the Pharaoh Alexander Aegos never visited the land; they were mere puppets dangling between Asia and Europe, hostages in the hands of the diadochi (successors), and were quickly eliminated. Philip, a mentally disabled youth, and Alexander Aegos, a little boy, were depicted on the walls of Egyptian temples as adult, virile pharaohs making offerings to the gods.
