Alexander was from the Kingdom of Macedonia!

Plutarch on Alexander “It is agreed on by all hands, that on the father's (Phillip’s) side, Alexander descended from Hercules by Caranus, and from Aeacus by Neoptolemus on the mother's side…While he was yet very young, he entertained the ambassadors from the King of Persia, in the absence of his father, and entering much into conversation with them, gained so much upon them by his affability, and the questions he asked them, which were far from being childish or trifling, that they were struck with admiration of him, and looked upon the ability so much famed of Philip to be nothing in comparison with the forwardness and high purpose that appeared thus early in his son.” Would Plutarch agree or disagree that Alexander the Great deserves the title of “great?” Use direct evidence from the document to explain your answer!
