Correct! Good job.
Clue 1: Alexander the Great + Doctor Doctor. The biblical parable of the Prodigal Son is written by Luke the Evangelist, a doctor from the Hellenistic cultural sphere created in the aftermath of Alexander the Great's military endeavours (you know the story).
Clue 2: A character in this song can be attributed to a horrific image in an Iron Maiden single released three years later. Lamia was in Greek mythology a queen of Libya, who turned into a baby-eating daemon (how metal is that?!). In 2 Minutes to Midnight, there is a reference to "feed" [the war machine] with our babies".
Clue 3: The character clue 2 refers to, shares its name with a top-tier football club. PAS Lamia 1964 is a football club in the Greek top division.
Clue 4: The same year the football club in clue 3 was founded, a song with the same name as the Maiden song in question was recorded and released (the song had surfaced before under different names). This song reached a wider audience as a cover version, which was released the same year an opera with almost the same name as the Maiden song premiered in Britain. Rev. Robert Wilkins recorded Prodigal son in 1964. It was covered by the Rolling Stones on their Beggar's Banquet album in 1968. The same year, Benjamin Britten's opera The Prodigal Son premiered, in St. Bartholomew's Church in Orford.
