Actually he was Macedonian.  His father was Philip of Macedon.  Although the cultures are similar, but still different.  Greek culture was the more dominant of the two, thus had the greater influence.  Of course, Alexander the Great was responsible for speading Greek culture through what became his empire (parts of the Mediterranean and Middle East, mostly).

Thats what im talkin about he was macedonian but the word macedonia is misunderstood.Macedonia in greece is considered a periphery in which thessaloniki(what a coinsidence concerning Alexanders family) is the capital.I have a link here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greece check the map and you 'll get what im saying.
