Sorry, you are wrong, Alexander the Great was not mentioned by name in the Book of Daniel. Some authors designated him as the symbol in the prophesy of the Book of Daniel:

8:1 In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me, even unto me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first.

8:2 And I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was at Shushan in the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in a vision, and I was by the river of Ulai.

8:3 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.

8:4 I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; so that no beasts might stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became great.

8:5 And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.

8:6 And he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power.

8:7 And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.

8:8 Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.

8:9 And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land.

8:10 And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.

8:11 Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of the sanctuary was cast down.

8:12 And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.

8:13 Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?

8:14 And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.

8:15 And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.

8:16 And I heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.

8:17 So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision.

8:18 Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face toward the ground: but he touched me, and set me upright.

8:19 And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be.

8:20 The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia.

8:21 And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.

8:22 Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power.

8:23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.

8:24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.

8:25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

8:26 And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true: wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it shall be for many days.

8:27 And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; afterward I rose up, and did the king's business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood it.

The prophetic book of Daniel was written approximately 250 years before Alexander was born, and yet it describes him in amazing detail, from his death at a young age, to his being succeeded by four of his generals. The Bible prophecy about Alexander, centuries ahead of time:

If you have been to mass today, you would have known the answer, but too bad he was never mentioned by name in your quotes.

But if you go to the Old Testament in the First Book of Macabbees 1:10, there you will find the name of Alexander the Great:

146 - La persécution d'Antiochus Épiphane (167 av. J.C.).

1 M 1, 10-15.41-43.54-57.62-64 (Choisir/Dieux faux/ Fidélité/Mort-Résurrection/Persécution)

10 Dans la descendance des successeurs d'Alexandre le Grand, surgit un homme de péché, Antiochus Épiphane, fils du roi Antiochus le Grand. Il avait séjourné à Rome comme otage, et il devint roi en l'année 137 de l'empire grec. 11 A cette époque, surgirent en Israël des hommes infidèles à la Loi, et ils séduisirent beaucoup de gens, car ils disaient : « Allons, faisons alliance avec les nations qui nous entourent. En effet, depuis que nous avons rompu avec elles, il nous est arrivé beaucoup de malheurs. » 12 Ce langage parut judicieux, 13 et quelques-uns, dans le peuple, s'empressèrent d'aller trouver le roi. Celui-ci leur permit d'adopter les usages des païens. 14 Ils construisirent un gymnase à Jérusalem, selon la coutume païenne ; 15 ils effacèrent les traces de leur circoncision, renièrent l'Alliance sainte, s'associèrent aux païens, et se vendirent pour faire le mal.

41 Quelques années après, le roi Antiochus prescrivit à tous les habitants de son royaume de ne faire désormais qu'un seul peuple, 42 et d'abandonner leurs coutumes particulières. Toutes les nations païennes se conformèrent à cet ordre. 43 Parmi les Israélites, beaucoup suivirent volontiers la religion du roi, offrirent des sacrifices aux idoles, et profanèrent le sabbat. 54 Le 15 du neuvième mois de l'année 145, Antiochus éleva sur l'autel des sacrifices le Sacrilège Dévastateur, et, dans les villes de Juda autour de Jérusalem, ses partisans élevèrent des autels païens. 55 Ils brûlèrent de l'encens aux portes des maisons et sur les places. 56 Tous les livres de la Loi qu'ils découvraient, ils les jetaient au feu après les avoir lacérés. 57 Si l'on découvrait chez quelqu'un un livre de l'Alliance, si quelqu'un continuait à suivre la Loi, le décret du roi le faisait mettre à mort.

62 Cependant, beaucoup en Israël résistèrent et eurent le courage de ne manger aucun aliment impur. 63 Ils acceptèrent de mourir pour ne pas être souillés par ce qu'ils mangeaient, et ne pas profaner l'Alliance sainte ; et de fait, ils moururent. 64 C'est ainsi qu'une terrible colère s'abattit sur Israël.
