Also, here are some other fun facts about him:
He was 5'7
He may have had heterochromia (one eye was blue the other was brown.)
He smelled GREAT apparently.
Our short king apparently had a deep voice lol.
He would sometimes jump off a moving chariot and run alongside it it race it, as he enjoyed running/sprinting.
During his campaign he and his boyfr- I mean his best friend visited the tombs of Achilles and Patroclus, with them placing garlands on their statues. Alexander crowned Achilles' statue and Hephaestion crowned Patroclus's. Afterward, they anointed themselves with oil and ran around the statues naked.
When his favorite war horse, Bucephalus, a war horse he'd tamed and had since his early teens died he named a city after him. He would also do the same thing for his dog Peritas.
He would sleep with an annotated copy of the lliad, given to him by his tutor Aristotle, under his pillow as well as with a dagger.
When his beloved Hephaestion died of an unknown illness (but seemingly brought on by excessive drinking) it plunged Alexander into despair. He laid over the body and stayed there weeping all day and night, refusing food or drink, and eventually had to be dragged away by his men.
In the following days he either lay in bed in silence or lay there softly weeping. He shaved his head, to them a sign of mourning, and ordered that the fire meant to signify the death of the king if extinguished (i.e himself) be extinguished. He then ordered that the temple built for the Greek god of healing be destroyed.
He also created a whole ass cult for Hephaestion, complete with followers, shrines, altars, artwork and offerings.
He died at age thirty two, after having conquered most of the known world.
Alexander was (as we would call him today) UNDOUBTEDLY Bisexual, he just didn't call himself that because labels like "Gay" or "Bi" simply didn't exist in his time. That and the Greeks understood male - male relationships differently than we do today. I could elaborate more if you want, but I think I'll leave it there : )
