Olympias was an Epirote princess, not Macedonian. That's why the child of Cleopatra Eurydice was so dangerous to Alexander- Alexander wasn't 'pure macedonian', and the other child was.
She was Not Albanian you history steeling Asshole. A pure Albanian probably decends from the Illyrians. But There are tons of ugly Mongrel Gypsie Albanians as well.
The Epirotes were a North Hellenic tribe, As were the Macedonians. They both had an Original tongue of a Greek Dialect before they became part of the Koine Greek speaking population. Modern Greek descends from Koine Greek.
Only the southern Greeks lived in City States. The Northern Greeks (Thessalonians, Epirotes, Macedonians, ect) lived in Kingdoms. And yes the Athenians did not like any of them.
Alexander was Half Epirote and Half Macedonian. That's why he had a fit when his father married a Macedonian and they were going to have a Macedonian Boy who would be a "pure" heir to the throne.
Nicely done! It was interesting to see a video dealing with a different side of Olympias' character -the mother in her. Good use of scenes; I thought the bit after the kiss, where Alexander's lips are bloodied, was very potent - was it intentional? Good stuff! Keep up the good work!
Angelina Jolie is the best actress in HOLLYWOOD!!

Olympias was easily the best Character in the movie.
I think she probably played a crucial role in Alexander's making....probably just as much as his father.
Beautiful and cunning Princess of Epirus.

I think it's by Within temptation, but I don't know the title.
Olympias is beautiful, so dark, so dangerous...
I guess she really loved her son, but couldn't show it to him the right way.
Thanks for this vid.
