Talk:Alexander IV of Macedon

Untitled

So where's the evidence that Alexander IV was recognized as Pharaoh? Septentrionalis PMAnderson 01:16, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Alexander III was recognized as pharaoh by the Egyptians. So Philip III, his successor, would have retained all of his positions. Alexander IV, Philip III's successor, would have done the same. It was only after his death that Ptolemy declared himself pharaoh. Or at least that's how I understand things to be. Correct me if I am wrong. Crispus 20:18, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Alexander IV was considered a pharaoh, The only known pictures of him were a couple of egyptian depictions.Ericl (talk) 15:15, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

I removed the description of Philip III as illegitimate, from what I can tell his mother was generally considered one of Philip II's wives, and it's much more his mental capacity that contributed to him being subordinated to his younger brother Alexander III. --Michael Snow (talk) 03:29, 2 October 2015 (UTC)

Conspiracy section

Few days ago I reverted an edit about Alexander III's conspiracy, see here for details and my reasons in edit summary. Now a very similar section was added by an IP, see here. I would like to ask to more knowledgeable editors such as @Dr.K.: and @Athenean: what they think about that. IMO the source provided (readable here) is valid but misused/misinterpreted, and I retain my reasons given in the edit summary. Khruner (talk) 10:06, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

It does look like synthesis... Macedonian, a Greek (talk) 16:46, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
