Alexander the "Son of God" , did alot of living for a 33yr old? As far as histories go Josephus 375yrs later has him stopping off at Jerusalem where the priests quickly found an apt prophecy (post haste, clever priests) which described "a mighty Greek king" who would conquer the Persian Empire. He spares Jerusalem acccoring to Josephus and pushes south into Egypt, surprise surprise, see how histories get forged/massaged in later?
But you could say it was a miracle from God of course, see how miracles get made too? They were happening all around, every other day/week, surrounding every major historical figure, for all the world was afoot with the Gods, Goddesses, The Fates, for all of Nature was full of Magic!
The Egyptians as well were just thrilled to get rid of the Persians so called him liberator & procaliming him "Master of the Universe" and the "Son of God" , always nice to have these little historical notations that remind us just how many King of Kings & Son's of God there were.
