Philip of Macedonia believed that Apollo (who regularly took the form of a
serpent, and whose primary symbol was a Serpent) was Alexander's actual
Father. After all, every single facet of Alexander's character was what the
people of that time considered to be "divine", his incredible good looks,
his immense intelligence, and his unmeasurable charisma and charm, were all
seen as absolute evidence of his divine parentage. How many ordinary people
can match his attainments. I think he was simply an adept, they thought he
was a God, and I'm sure he agreed with his Mother and with Philip his
"adopted" Father. In view of certain inspirations I have lately had, this is
not as far fetched as it seems.
