This man was supposedly told by a cynic philosopher that his father's bones were identical to those of a slave. Although Aelian writes that this man had blond hair, the House of the Faun mosaic from Pompeii depicts him with brown hair. This man was shot in the lungs by an arrow as he ended the siege of Multan, the last offensive battle he fought in. As he lay dying, this man allegedly said his empire belongs "to the strongest." The last remnant of this man's empire was the Indo-Greek kingdom, which fell in 10 CE. This man's son by the Sogdian princess Roxana was poisoned by Cassander, one of the diadochi. After this man's death, he was buried in an Egyptian city that he founded and named for himself. For ten points, name this Macedonian king, the son of Philip II and conqueror of the Persian Empire.
