An illegitimate son is born to Alexander …
Years: 327BCE - 327BCE
An illegitimate son is born to Alexander by his mistress Barsine, daughter of the satrap Artabazos II of Phrygia.
The first son of Alexander, he is named after the Greek hero Heracles, from whom the Macedonian royal family claims its descent.
At the time of his birth, there is no reason to consider Heracles a possible candidate for the throne.
His father is still twenty-nine years old and about to marry the princess Roxana of Bactria, and there is little doubt at this time that they will produce legitimate heirs to the throne.
