When it comes to naming an heir to Alexander's empire on his deathbed, no mention is made of Alexander's half-brother, Philip Arrhidaeus. Despite his noted learning disability, Arrhidaeus was held up as the true Macedonian heir to Alexander's empire by many men in the Macedonian army. (Alexander's child by Roxane was still unborn before Alexander died and was also half-Iranian, which fueled Hellenic prejudices.) Arrhidaeus was crowned Philip III after Alexander's death as co-ruler alongside Alexander's unborn child (who became Alexander IV). While some have called the film out on this factual error, the omission was clearly done to compress the story of Alexander into a single film.
