    Seems like any Greek with an army claimed to be Alexander's heir.

    Maybe the last true "heir" of Alexander was Antigonos Monophthalmos who stood for the idea of a unified empire after the death of Perdikkas. With his death in the battle of Ipsos the division of Alexanders kingdom was more or less cemented. Wether Seleukos had the same ambitions is controversial.

    The queen commands and we'll obey
    Over the Hills and far away.
    (perhaps from an English Traditional, about 1700 AD)

    Drum, Kinder, seid lustig und allesamt bereit:
    Auf, Ansbach-Dragoner! Auf, Ansbach-Bayreuth!
    (later chorus -containing a wrong regimental name for the Bayreuth-Dragoner (DR Nr. 5) - of the "Hohenfriedberger Marsch", reminiscense of a battle in 1745 AD, to the music perhaps of an earlier cuirassier march)

    There may be some truth in that. Perhaps nobody is born the heir of Alexander, it's a title you earn through deeds.
