No way. This guy is a Saxon leftover after their settlement in Macedonia.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sasa,_North_Macedonia


The village and surrounding mines were set up by Saxons (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saxons), which settled north-eastern Macedonia in Middle Ages. The name Sasa originates from German Saxons, as Sasa is the traditional name for a Saxon in Macedonian Language.

Alexander the Great was a different creature completely.

This western look isn't all that uncommon in Macedonia.

Settlement of Saxon miners was in NE Macedonia, so this look is more typical there;

You're possibly basing your belief on the lack of indentation between the eyes, but this is also an artistic convention, which Alexander does not exhibit in many sculptures, one of which looks like THE DYING GAUL,minus the mustache.

*Alexander's physical description is variously reported as of him having curly, dark blonde hair, a prominent forehead, a short, jutting chin, fair to reddish skin, an intense gaze, and a short, stocky, tough figure. Alexander had one dark brown eye and one blue eye.

My hot take-

I think the chances are he was swarthy like most ancient Mediterranean people. Although Plutarch, a biographer who lived about 400 years after Alexander, described him as not swarthy, but fair and ruddy: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_the_Great#Physical_appearance-- Although “ruddy”, meaning head, neck, chest, etc., will be flushed red at times, was used to describe blondish Northern Europeans mostly.

But then Plutarch always said Alexander smelled amazing?? so who knows lol? That, or like many others, he could have been portrayed with light features to make him look more than just an ordinary "mortal" man to Plutarch's swarthy readers, lol.

Also, being of mainly Greek with some Thracian and Balkan heritage, Alexander was almost certainly of Mediterranean complexion and hair color.. but who knows.

Reminds me of this gal from Salonica.

Nor Macedonians ,nor Alexander were "Greeks" (even that terminology is not existing in that time), they were like 50-50 Medditeraneans+Celtic/Nordic.
