List of Famous people born in Greece

Caranus was the son of Philip and a half-brother of Alexander the Great. It used to be thought that his mother was Cleopatra Eurydice, and that Caranus was therefore an infant at the time of his death. Cleopatra Eurydice bore Philip a female child, Europa, shortly before his death in October 336 BC. However, since the probable date for Philip and Cleopatra's marriage was spring 337 BC, this would mean that Cleopatra bore two children in 18-20 months. Whilst possible, this is unlikely.
