 ==Meaning of the name== 
 As the meaning of the name Philip is in the page of Alexander's father (friend+horse = φίλος+άλογο=φίλιππος)shouldn't here be Αλέξανδρος from άλεξ+ανδρός=αλέξανδρος which means protector+man????  —Preceding unsigned comment added by     
 :This is not exceptionally important, but we could add it, eg as a footnote.   "
