What makes someone his nationality? Where he was born, where his parents where born, the language he spoke. Please stop the propaganda. Alexander the Great was born in Greece and he was speaking Greek, he was Greek.

Alexander was depicted like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl. The boy was fast, which is why he died at age 33.
