@the.turkish4: After visiting the Oracle of Siwa, Alexander believed he had divine origins, and many began to see him as more than just a king #alexanderthegreat #historyfacts #History #god #fyp

I think we are all Son of God 🤔

His mother Olympia was also very religious and claimed that Zeus visited her in a dream and that Alexander was his son. So even as a kid Alexander believed this, but it was ”confirmed” by the oracle

He thought he was son of Zeus because his mother told him that all his life, since he was a baby

Alexander had already come to regard himself as the son of God; more specifically, he believed he was the son of Zeus, and he also believed he was the son of Amun, whom he regarded as the Egyptian equivalent of Zeus
