Alexander’s momma had stink-ass breath

“There was also dispute about [Alexander the Great’s] parents. Much of this was posthumous legend; the Persians later fitted Alexander into their own line of kings by a story that Olympias had visited the Persian court, where the king made love to her and then sent her back to Macedonia because her breath smelt appallingly bad.”
–from Robin Lane Fox’s Alexander the Great (1973)

Note: In the upcoming Oliver Stone movie, Angelina Jolie plays Olympias, Alexander’s mother. No word as yet on how Jolie’s breath smelled.
