START at alexander the great page says his father is phillip II his page says his father is amyntas III his page says his father is arrhidaeus his page says he was ONE OF ALEXANDER THE GREATS GENERALS...might just be me but i really doubt alexanders great grandfather was one of his generals and brought his body back in 323bc he would have been near 100 or older.

What is confusing about it? Arrhidaeus was a typical Macedonian name, and several individuals had it. The father of Amyntas III of Macedon has no known relation to this general. Do you think every person named "John" or "Michael" is related? Dimadick (talk) 13:54, 19 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
