Being the successor of an important father (Pyrrhos), Alexander II abandoned his father's grandiose plans and limited his power (except for a brief invasion of Macedonia during the Chremonidean war) to Epirus and the neighbouring areas of northwestern Greece. His name appears in one of the edicts of the Buddhist Emperor Asoka, who ruled India in the third century bce .
