Peter Green (Profesor Emeritus of Classics, University of Texas) -- eden od veteranite na istoriskata nauka za antichka Makedonija -- vo svojata kniga Alexander of Macedon, tvrdi deka za da se razbere deloto na Aleksandar, mora da se pochne od Filip i od nivnata tatkovina Makedonija.
Spored Green, Aleksandar e najglemiot genij-komandant dosega, no e produkt na okolinata vo koja shto bil - t.e. produkt na vlijanieto na Makedonecot Filip i na negovata tatkovina Makedonija, za koja Green pojasnuva deka e prvata organizirana drzhava vo Evropa:
" The story of Alexander the Great is inexorably bound up with that of his father, King Philip II, and with his country Macedonia. Philip was most remarkable and dominating figure in his own right; while Macedonia, as has recently been observed 'was the first large territorial state with an effectively centralized political, military and administrative structure to some into being on the continent of Europe.'
Unless we understand this, and them, Alexander's career must remain for us no more than the progress of a comet, flaring in unparallel majesty accross the sky, a marvel but incomprehensible.
Genous Alexander had, and in full measure; yet even genious remains to a surprising extent the product of its environment. What Alexander was, Philip and Macedonia in great part made him, and it is with them that we muct begin...."
