No. Or at least, there's no suggestion of it in the ancient sources. There was between Hephaestion/Hephaistion and Craterus/Krateros, as well as between Hephaistion and Eumenes. But not Lysimachus/Lysimakhos.
(The / signifies a difference between Latinized and Greek spellings of the same name.)

Alexander the Great's three most trusted generals were Hephaestion, Parmenion, and Craterus. Hephaestion was not only a key military leader but also Alexander's closest friend and confidant. Parmenion served as a senior general and was instrumental in many of Alexander's early campaigns. Craterus was known for his bravery and leadership skills, often commanding troops in significant battles and contributing to Alexander's successes throughout his conquests.

It has not yet been proven that Alexander the Great was gay, but he was married to a women to have a child.
There is no proof that Alexander the Great ever had sexual relations with men. Any evidence to the contrary is purely circumstantial.
There does not seem to be a definitive answer to this question. And since we can't ask Alexander about his sexual orientation, it seems this debate will never be settled.
I remember watching a History Channel program that pretty much asserted that he was gay, as if it were an indisputable fact. But if you Google "Alexander the Great was gay" (or similar search words) about half the websites seem to say yes, he was gay, and the other half say "it's just a rumor, there's no real evidence, blah blah blah..."
AnswerThere is no proof that Alexander the Great ever had sexual relations with men. Any evidence to the contrary is purely circumstantial.
Alexander was also an avid employer of political marriages, uniting his generals to defeated daughters of kings and noblemen in efforts to extend his empire into Asia. It would not be farfetched to conclude that his unions to Roxana, Stateira II and Parysatis (all conquered Persian noblewomen) were likewise heavily politically motivated.
What the sexual orientation of Alexander "truly" was is left to the sands of history, as human sexuality at that time and place was understood, performed and internalized differently than today. On the other hand, the relationship between Alexander and Hephaestion and how deep and loving it was needs to be remembered and not modified as mere "friends" as is often the case in textbooks.
History tells us he was bi-sexual.
1 answer
There is no proof to suggest that Alexander the Great ever had sexual relations with men, though culturally, there is a high probability of it.
Hephaestion, Alexander's lifelong friend and Bagoas, a Persian eunuch were the two men central to these rumours. However any evidence of a gay relationship is purely circumstantial.
1 answer
Technically, no. Alexander split his army into two. He sent half of his army through the Khyber Pass under the leadership of his close friend Hephaestion and one of his generals, Perdiccus while Alexander and the other half traveled through the Kabul River valley and through the mountains to mop up any last resistance.

Alexander the Great was tutored by Aristotle until the age of 16. Other notable students include: Aristoxenus, Dicaearchus, Demetrius of Phalerum, Eudemos of Rhodes, Harpalus, Hephaestion, Meno, Mnason of Phocis, Nicomachus, and Theophrastus.

Alexander himself called Hephaestion/Hephaistion "Philalexandros," or "friend of Alexander." This was in contrast to Craterus/Krateros who was "Philobasileus," or "friend of the king." In other words, Hephaistion was Alexander's friend, Krateros was "the king's." One was personal, one more formal. Hephaistion probably knew Alexander 19+ years, and the were educated together. Whether they were lovers is a point of debate, but given Greek sensibilities, it wouldn't be a surprise, at least when they were younger. But unlike the modern world which tends to preference sexual relationships as "primary" (whether opposite sex or same sex) and as "partners" or "spouses," the ancient world preferenced "philia," or "friendship" as the "great" love. So calling Hephaistion is (personal) friend meant that, for Alexander, Hephaistion came first in his affective life. So the modern distinction of lovers or "just" friends would be completely backwards: the were Friends (as opposed to "just" lovers).

Hephaestion, the close companion and general of Alexander the Great, died in 324 BCE under mysterious circumstances, with various accounts suggesting he fell ill after a prolonged fever. Some historians speculate that his death may have been caused by typhoid fever or possibly poisoning, although the exact cause remains unclear. His passing deeply affected Alexander, who mourned him profoundly and reportedly held an elaborate funeral in his honor.

Alexander Hamilton married Elizabeth Schuyler in December of 1780. Elizabeth was the daughter of General Philip Schuyler and a member of one of the wealthiest families in New York. Not much is known about Elizabeth because she burned all of her correspondence to Hamilton after his death. She was born in 1757 and died in 1854, 50 years after her husband died. She bore Hamilton 8 children and after his death petitioned Congress for her husband's pension (which he had waived) and was involved in charity work with orphanages in New York City.

Alexander the Great died in Babylon in the 4th Century BC after 10 years of conquests, having never returned home to Pella. It is reasonably well established that he drank himself to death due to his unachievable ambitions and the death of his partner Hephaestion. When he died he had conquered the middle East up to the Ganges, had planned the conquest of Arabia down to the most minute detail and commissioned a fleet of ships to carry his army to Carthage and Rome. Plutarch wrote that he planned to conquer 'even as far as the Brittanic isles' - then would have gone back to India. The world would have been a very different place.
If you're looking specifically for English history the classic example is the battle of Hastings, though you could go for the less expected approach of the Battle of Stanford Bridge in which king Harold took his entire army to defend against a viking invasion, thus allowing William the Conqueror to land - Harold could have picked William to fight first instead and saved his men thus allowing the vikings to land properly.

On the afternoon of June 10 - 11, 323 BC, Alexander died of a mysterious illness in the palace of Nebuchadrezzar II of Babylon. He was just one month shy of attaining 33 years of age. Various theories have been proposed for the cause of his death which include poisoning by the sons of Antipater or others, sickness that followed a drinking party, or a relapse of the malaria he had contracted in 336 BC.
It is known that on May 29, Alexander participated in a banquet organized by his friend Medius of Larissa. After some heavy drinking, immediately before or after a bath, he was forced into bed due to severe illness. The rumors of his illness circulated with the troops causing them to be more and more anxious. On June 9, the generals decided to let the soldiers see their king alive one last time. They were admitted to his presence one at a time. While the king was too ill to speak, confined himself to move his hand. The day after, Alexander was dead.
The poisoning theory derives from the story held in antiquity by Justin and Curtius. The original story stated that Cassander, son of Antipater, viceroy of Greece, brought the poison to Alexander in Babylon in a mule's hoof, and that Alexander's royal cupbearer, Iollas, brother of Cassander, administered it. Many had powerful motivations for seeing Alexander gone, and were none the worse for it after his death. Deadly agents that could have killed Alexander in one or more doses include hellebore and strychnine. In R. Lane Fox's opinion, the strongest argument against the poison theory is the fact that twelve days had passed between the start of his illness and his death and in the ancient world, such long-acting poisons were probably not available.
However, the warrior culture of Macedon favoured the sword over strychnine, and many ancient historians, like Plutarch and Arrian, maintained that Alexander was not poisoned, but died of natural causes. Instead, it is likely that Alexander died of malaria or typhoid fever, which were rampant in ancient Babylon. Other illnesses could have also been the culprit, including acute pancreatitis or the West Nile virus. Recently, theories have been advanced stating that Alexander may have died from the treatment not the disease. Hellebore, believed to have been widely used as a medicine at the time but deadly in large doses, may have been overused by the impatient king to speed his recovery, with deadly results. Disease-related theories often cite the fact that Alexander's health had fallen to dangerously low levels after years of heavy drinking and suffering several appalling wounds (including one in India that nearly claimed his life), and that it was only a matter of time before one sickness or another finally killed him.
No story is conclusive. Alexander's death has been reinterpreted many times over the centuries, and each generation offers a new take on it. What is certain is that Alexander died of a high fever on June 10 or 11 of 323 BC.
On his death bed, his marshals asked him to whom he bequeathed his kingdom. Since Alexander had no heir (his son Alexander IV would be born after his death), it was a question of vital importance. There is some debate to what Alexander replied. Some believe that Alexander said, "To the strongest!". It should be taken into note however that he might have said, "To Craterus". This is possible because the Greek pronunciation of "the strongest" and "Craterus" is different only by accent. The phrase and name are in fact, separated by only one letter in the ancient Greek language. Most scholar's believe that if Alexander did intend to choose one of his generals, his obvious choice would've been Craterus because he was the commander of the largest part of the army (infantry), because he had proven himself to be an excellent strategist, and because he displayed traits of the "ideal" Macedonian. Regardless of his reply, Craterus was eventually assassinated before he could organize a coup with the infantry and Alexander's empire was split into 4 kingdoms.
Alexander's death has been surrounded by as much controversy as many of the events of his life. Before long, accusations of foul play were being thrown about by his generals at one another, making it incredibly hard for a modern historian to sort out the propaganda and the half-truths from the actual events. No contemporary source can be fully trusted because of the incredible level of self-serving recording, and as a result what truly happened to Alexander the Great may never be known.
Alexander's body was placed in a gold anthropid sarcophagus, which was in turn placed in a second gold casket and covered with a purple robe. Alexander's coffin was placed, together with his armour, in a gold carriage which had a vaulted roof supported by an Ionic peristyle. The decoration of the carriage was very rich and is described in great detail by Diodoros.
According to legend, Alexander was preserved in a clay vessel full of honey (which acts as a preservative) and interred in a glass coffin. According to Aelian (Varia Historia 12.64), Ptolemy stole the body and brought it to Alexandria, where it was on display until Late Antiquity. It was here that Ptolemy IX, one of the last successors of Ptolemy I, replaced Alexander's sarcophagus with a glass one, and melted the original down in order to strike emergency gold issues of his coinage. The citizens of Alexandria were outraged at this and soon after Ptolemy IX was killed. Its current whereabouts are unknown.
The so-called "Alexander Sarcophagus," discovered near Sidon and now in the Istanbul Archaeological Museum, is now generally thought to be that of Abdylonymus, whom Hephaestion appointed as the king of Sidon by Alexander's order. The sarcophagus depicts Alexander and his companions hunting and in battle with the Persians.

Can you believe it’s been nine years since the last Indiana Jones film came out? As much as we might wish to forget Shia LaBeouf swinging from vines amidst a family of monkeys, the reality is that Harrison Ford’s scruffy-faced adventurer made archaeology cool for generations of young boys and girls. Now, a similarly exciting first look at the rebooted Tomb Raider franchise proves Alicia Vikander’s Lara Croft is set to become Jones’ worthy successor.

But while the actual practice of excavating and restoring ancient artifacts may not be full of deranged Nazis and supernatural curses, for Dr. Deborah Gangloff, president and CEO of the Crow Canyon Archaeological Center in southwestern Colorado, as well as vice president for outreach and education at the Archaeological Institute of America, it’s always been exciting.
Looking toward the future, not just the pastGangloff is a New World archaeologist, which means her expertise is primarily in North America. For Gangloff, archaeology is not just about digging up the past, but looking toward the future.
The staff of the Crow Canyon Archaeological Center in 2015. Gangloff, pictured center, announced that she’ll from her post January, 2018. (Image via crowcanyon.org)
“There are many reasons why archaeology is relevant today, and we need to do a better job of communicating those reasons to the public and decision makers,” she says. “Archaeological findings can give politicians, planners, and the general public a significant, deep-time perspective on key issues (changing environments, economic and demographic trends, etc.) and quite possibly point the way towards solutions for the future.”

Since we last saw Indiana Jones raiding the Crystal Skull onscreen, there have been many exciting archaeological discoveries in the real world. Each one has pushed the field forward and taught us something about the past we didn’t know before. With that in mind, here are five of the most important discoveries made in the last decade:
1. The Lovers of ValdaroWe’ve heard of “’Til death do us part,” but a 2007 discovery near Mantua, Italy, takes that concept to an entirely new level. Two skeletons from over 6,000 years ago were excavated, discovered in an embrace. Their legs were intertwined and their arms were wrapped around one another. Immediately, speculation about who these two people were and how they could have died ran rampant. It didn’t help that Mantua was where Shakespeare’s Romeo was exiled after killing Tybalt and where he learned of his darling Juliet’s death.
Scholars are still divided on what may have happened to the lovers. Tests have concluded that the skeletons are definitely a woman and a man, between 18 and 20 years old. But, were they killed? Did they die holding each other on a frozen Italian night? Or were they placed in their intriguing position after their deaths? The world may never know, but it’s fun to speculate.
2. The Nesting Pyramids of Chichén ItzáEven if you’ve never been to Chichén Itzá on Mexico’s Yucatán peninsula, chances are you’ve seen the iconic El Castillo pyramid in photos. Constructed between 950 and 1000 A.D., the ancient Mayan structure rises 100 feet into the sky and is 180 feet wide at its base. On each side, a set of 91 steps rise to the top. When added together with the one it takes to enter the structure, the total number of steps comes to 365—one calendar year.

What you might not know, however, is that El Castillo actually has two other pyramids inside it. The first has been known for awhile; it was discovered in the 1930s and is believed to have been built sometime between 850-900 A.D. But as recently as November 2016, scientists were still making discoveries at the site.
Archaeologists used electrical resistivity to find a third, even smaller pyramid hidden within the first two. This one was constructed sometime between 600 and 800 A.D. As the oldest of the three, this third structure is thought to be more purely Mayan. Archaeologists believe it can reveal a lot about the beginnings of the settlement, as well as the Mayan’s earliest cultural influences.

This recent discovery will surely increase tourism to the Yucatán peninsula, which Gangloff says is a big benefit of the field. “[Archaeology]…helps increase visitation to cultural and historic sites that brings more people to tour archaeological sites, and that makes them more knowledgeable about what we do and helps support local economies through tourism,” she says.
3. The Youngest Known MummyIn the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, England, sits a small cedar coffin that was unearthed in 1907. The coffin dates back almost 2,500 years, from the Egyptian Late Period, between 664 and 525 B.C. Until last year, museum curators believed the coffin was too small to hold anything but the mummified organs of a deceased individual.
The coffin is over 2,500 years old and only around 17 inches long, according to Realm of History (Image via Realm of History)
That is, until a micro CT scan showed a much more interesting find: a mummified fetus, believed to be only 16-18 weeks old when it died from a probable miscarriage. This makes the fetus the youngest mummy ever found. The scan shows two hands with five fingers each, and the fetus’ arms are crossed over its chest. This remarkable find proves what recent advances in technology enables archaeologists to do.
In a press release, Dr. Tom Turmezei, who collaborated with the museum on the find, said, “CT imaging has been used successfully by the museum for several projects in recent years, but this is our most successful find so far. The ability of CT to show the inner workings of such artefacts without causing any structural damage proved even more invaluable in this case, allowing us to review the foetus for abnormalities and attempt to age it as accurately as possible.”
CT imaging revealed the fetus inside, which had gone undetected for nearly 100 years (Image via Realm of History)
Julie Dawson, head of conservation at the Fitzwilliam Museum, added in a statement: “This ground-breaking find educates us further still in our conception of just how precious the unborn child was in Ancient Egyptian society. The care taken in the preparation of this burial clearly demonstrates the value placed on life even in the first weeks of its inception.”
4. New Dead Sea ScrollsIt was the archaeological find of the century. Between 1946 and 1956, 11 caverns in the Qumran caves near the Dead Sea in Israel and Palestine yielded thousands of fragments of historically significant parchment paper stored in ancient, earthen jars. In early 2017, researchers found a twelfth cave.
For more what they uncovered, and what it means to history, watch our video below.
5. Greece’s Largest TombThe Hill of Kasta was almost discovered first in the 1970s, when an archaeologist speculated that the site, near the ancient Greek city of Amphipolis, hid a large tomb under the earth. His work took him elsewhere, and archaeologists were unable to revisit the site until four decades later. As expected, the tomb was waiting for them.
The tomb, the largest of its kind in Greece, dates from the 4th century B.C., is guarded by two large marble sphinxes, and contains three separate chambers.
What’s more, archaeologists discovered the skeletons of five people: a woman over 60 years old, two males between 35 and 45, a newborn, and a third male whose age is difficult to determine. Initial reports that it was the tomb of Alexander the Great were later dismissed.
More likely, the tomb belonged to a member of an ancient royal family or a wealthy citizen. Inscriptions within the tomb apparently link the tomb to that of Hephaestion, a nobleman and a general in Alexander’s army.
The Accumulation of ResearchSo does Gangloff have a find she’s been a part of that excites her most? For her, it’s not about any one discovery, but the sum total of research that provides insight into the past.
“It’s not the individual artifacts we find that are the most interesting, it’s the accumulation of research findings that help give us a more complete picture of a society of the past,” she says. “For instance, in the southwest of the US, we now have a better view of how people lived 700 years ago and when and why this area of the Four Corners was nearly totally abandoned in the late 13th century.”
To the layperson, that may sound less interesting than cracking bullwhips and fighting off villains, but Gangloff doesn’t mind the way her field is portrayed in the media. In, fact, she says, it can do some good: “While I can’t speak for the entire profession, the popular cultural interpretations of archaeology and archaeologists, while they amuse professionals with their sensationalism, do result in an up-tick in interest in archaeology and in enrollment in college courses.”
So I guess Shia LaBeouf’s monkey swing isn’t all bad.
