If this was just a one time thing with a Young pretty thing in a Village he passed through one night, that he never saw again, he may be unaware of being a Father, and the woman would not be in a position to tell the world.<br /><br /><br />But as I said its just fun speculation, perhaps the stuff of a good novel, “The Son Of Alexander”.ZAROVEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17668854596329493360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-26354335599915490742010-09-28T14:25:36.385-05:002010-09-28T14:25:36.385-05:00I would tend to think it did, not just because of ...I would tend to think it did, not just because of the recent prevailing opinion that Alexander was not too fond of the ladies but more because if he had, someone of his stature would not have been able to keep it a secret easily and enemies would have seen they got the same treatment as Roxane's son.MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-89686133191851497752010-09-28T01:57:48.612-05:002010-09-28T01:57:48.612-05:00I always wondered if Alexander’s seed did Die with...I always wondered if Alexander’s seed did Die with his Son by Roxanne. Men in this period often had other women to give them pleasure, and Alexander was a powerful Conquering General and King. He may have slept with dozens of Barmaids, Girls at various Inns, and dancers in his time, not to mention women of villages and cities he conquered.<br /><br />While a lot of made today of his Alleged Homosexuality, the Greeks in he time did not view Sexuality as Static as our Culture tends to, so most men would have engaged in both sots of sexual conduct if not personally limiting themselves to only women. It would be rare in that time for a man to be exclusively sexual with other men.<br /><br />Of course if he did Sire a child with an Entertainer, he may have left her somewhere in Persia when he went to India, and never saw her again. Naturally the Child may be his Heir but, who would believe the Childs Mother? And she may not have wanted her Child in that sort of Danger.<br /><br />Then again, this is pure speculation on my part.ZAROVEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17668854596329493360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-91462048117078323132010-09-27T13:59:36.566-05:002010-09-27T13:59:36.566-05:00Wow, that is rather odd.

Perhaps there were other aspects of Alexander's story that interested him. On the other hand, and I am rather this way myself, perhaps he just admired audacity and accomplishment.MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-14811963997510647402010-09-27T11:13:33.974-05:002010-09-27T11:13:33.974-05:00I believe Leopold III once said that Alexander the...I believe Leopold III once said that Alexander the Great was one of his favorite figures in history.
