In sorrow, Alexander built the city of Bucephala, in memory of his beloved horse. As time passed, Alexander’s relationship with his father became increasingly discordant. When his father began to slight his mother, Alexander clung to the fantasy that Philip was not his real father, that he had a more regal ancestry as a child of the gods. Olympias fed this fantasy and also encouraged Alexander to think of himself as a king in his own right, not merely a successor to Philip. This frame of mind, and the behaviours it engendered, led to many father–son quarrels.
By taking a wife from this family, Philip had endangered the succession plans of Olympias and Alexander. Because the new wife was of traditional Macedonian nobility (unlike Alexander’s mother, who came from Epirus), Olympias and Alexander were deeply threatened by his father siring a child with purer Macedonian blood than Alexander’s own. Compounding the problem for Olympias, Philip renamed his new wife Eurydice, after his beloved mother, a woman who had been held in highest honour. That was a sure sign of the demotion of the queen-mother-to-be.
