"Revealing the Identities of Alexander the Great's Family in Ancient Greek Tombs"
The occupants of the 4th-century BCE Royal Tombs at Vergina in northern Greece have been identified as Alexander the Great’s father, King Philip II, his wife Cleopatra, and their newborn child in Tomb I; King Arrhidaeus and his wife Adea Eurydice in Tomb II; and Alexander the Great’s teenage son, Alexander IV, in Tomb III. The identification was made through osteological analyses, historical sources, and examination of skeletal elements, with evidence supporting the conclusion that Tomb I belongs to King Philip II, Tomb II to King Arrhidaeus, and Tomb III to Alexander IV.
