📖 À propos Alexandros
Alexandros est la forme grecque ancienne originale d'Alexandre, signifiant 'défenseur du peuple.' Il fut porté par Alexandre le Grand, le roi macédonien qui forgea l'un des plus grands empires de l'histoire, et apparaît également dans la mythologie comme le nom de naissance de Pâris de Troie. Dans la Grèce moderne, le nom demeure un fier emblème du patrimoine classique, avec sa fête célébrée le 30 août dans la tradition orthodoxe.
