I see you are new her. Good luck. I was block for attempting to correct this (Alexander III was a Greek king!?), have been insulted since, blocked again, and have hard time. They are watching all my steps and will attempt to block me for writing this now. My opinion is that, contrary to what is claimed above under the title "Why is he labeled as a Greek",
1. The discussion about Alexander as a "Greek king" has never been concluded.
2. The references under (i) are all not “real”, these are all general books or articles which do not support the claim “Greek king”.
3. The evidence (stated before "they" blocked Draganparis) is that the reality is just the opposite: even if Argead dynasty was at all of Greek origin, what is disputed, Alexander III must be called only "Macedonian" (of the Ancient Macedonia, of course). This is similar to the example of England where the Queen of England is NOT called a German Queen. This parallel is however not my original. The most well known late British historian and expert for the Ancient Macedonia, Professor Hammond states: Alexander’s dynasty, if Greek… regarded itself as Macedonian only by right of rule, as a branch of the Hanoverian house has come to regard itself as English (NGL Hammond, A History of Macedonia, Vol 1, 433 (see also 431-433), 1972, as cited by: Peter Green: Classical Bearings: Interpreting Ancient History and Culture, University of California Press, p. 157, 1998 (http://books.google.com/books?id=uXuUPPhxZIIC&lpg=PA288&dq=Justin%20illyrian&pg=PA151#v=onepage&q=Justin%20illyrian&f=false).Draganparis (talk) 10:07, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
