-Alexander the Great-

"FOR US GREEKS WE SHOULD NOT BE SLAVES TO BARBARIANS!"

(Kallisthenes 1.15.1-4)

"In this period, sixty-five years before the founding of Rome, Carthage was established by the Tyrian Elissa, by some authors called Dido. About this time also Caranus, a man of royal race, eleventh in descent from Hercules, set out from Argos and seized the kingship of Macedonia. From him Alexander the Great was descended in the seventeenth generation, and could boast that, on his mothers side, he was descended from Achilles, and, on his fathers side, from Hercules."

Velleius Paterculus, Book I

"There was a PERSISTENT, WELL ATTESTED tradition in antiquity that told of a group of Greeks from Argos-descendants of Temenus, kinsman of Heracles-who came to Macedonia and established their rule over the Makedones, unifying them and providing a royal house. "

[E Borza (1990) In The Shadow of Olympus: The Emergence of Macedon pg. 80.]
