I invite you all to www.MacedoniaInsight.comMacedonia Insight is a forum dedicated to exposing the truth on Macedonia. Macedonia is and always has been a part of Hellenic history which others are attempting to distort and mislead people into believing otherwise.

Oh yeah.. we believe you 100%. Macedonia was part of a hellenistic culture and not hellenic history. People like Herodotus already mentioned who the Macedonians actually were.

Absolute C correct, we do know what Herodotus had to say about the Hellenistic’s of Macedonians. Let's see."The country on the sea coast, now called Macedonia, was first acquired by Alexander, the father of Perdiccas, and his ancestors, originally Temenids from Argos."and from Herodotus, Book I, 56 "...but the Dorians on the contrary have been constantly on the move; their home in Deucalion's reign was Phthiotis and in the reign of Dorus son of Hellen the country known as Histiaeotis in the neighbourhood of Ossa and Olympus; driven from there by the Cadmeians they settled in Pindus and were known as Macedons; thence they migrated to Dryopis, and finally to the Peloponnese, where they got their present name of Dorians." In Herodotus (Book 9, paragraph 45.2) Alexander I, king of Macedonia says: "... I myself am by ancient descent a Greek, and I would not willingly see Hellas change her freedom for slavery ..." Tell your king who sent you how a Greek, ruler under him of the Macedonians entertained you well at board and bed." (Herodotus V, 20, 4) Alexander III (the Great) talking to the king of the Persians says: (Arrian, Anabasis of Alexander II,14,4) "Your ancestors invaded Macedonia and the rest of Greece and did us great harm, though we had done them no prior injury [...] I have been appointed hegemon (leader) of the Greeks [...] " Arrian ("Alexander the Great" 1,16,7) describes the following incident: After winning the battle of Granicus ... "He [Alexander the Great] sent to Athens three hundred Persian panoplies to be set up to Athena in the acropolis; he ordered this inscription to be attached: Alexander son of Philip and the Greeks, except the Lacedaemonians, set up these spoils from the barbarians dwelling in Asia" Herodotus also states clearly the Greek origin of the Macedonians! "And that these descendants of Perdiccas are Greeks, as themselves say, I happen to know myself,” (Herodotus V, 22, 1) Although there are numerous references from the ancients (and unfortunately there isn’t enough room to mention them all) the most important evidence are the Archaeological discoveries! Everything that has been found in Ancient Macedonia is only Greek! All the inscriptions on monuments, coins and other artifacts are written in Greek. Hundred of inscriptions both state and private are all in Greek. The names of the Macedonians written by themselves on their tombs are only Greek! There are no ancient monuments with a different language. Furthermore there are a large number of discoveries in Asia in the route of Alexander the Great. All these monuments, discovered in Persia Egypt Pakistan, Syria, India and many more countries, prove that Alexander’s quest was Greek and that his goal was to spread the Greek civilization all over the world. Don’t forget that Alexander created a gigantic Greek empire and make Greek an international language! His successors continued his worked and they formed the Hellenistic Greek world!

Kind of creepy how Albanians have claims to Alexander and Macedonia as Albanians and belonging to Albania. Unacceptable and unfounded claims from recent new comers. Stop the propagandas

Well whatever Alexander was, it is known he had an Illyrian mother. That much we know its true. The rest then can be used for all kinds of purposes.

Dont confuse Epirots with Illyrians. Alexander's mother, Olympiada (tottaly Greek name!) was from the Molosoi royal family of Epirus!. What Illyria has to do with Molosoi family? Illyrians were Illyrians. Epirots were Epirots and they were the eternal allies of Macedonians like Spartans stayed neutral during the fight between Macedonians and Atheneans since all these 3 tribes (Epirots, Macedonians, Spartans) were Dorians. Now.. if you want to convinve us that Illyrians were Dorians too.... ok... I have no problem with that... let them be Greek too if they want... but Albanian nationalists will freak out

Hellenistic, not Hellenic. The elite Ancients choose to take the Greek culture. Nothing wrong with that.

There are actual truths that Alexander's grandmother was an Illyrian. Alexander mother was an Epirote which probably make her a mixture of Illyrian and Greek flesh and blood.

how many times have you read books on Aleka and about the part where he and Olembi ,his mother flee Filip....... and Aleka brings his mom back home while he himself spends 2 years in Illyria .....
what you think he was doing there ??
he was visiting his uncles who then later convinced him to go back and regain his fathers seat before other bastard children try to do same ...

Now who do you believe ?
The Fyromians “with both Slavic and Bulgarian culture / heritage or the Albanians who are on here in this topic ?
Fact he declared himself a Hellene “Greek” and you don’t want to believe him.
By the way his name was Αλεχανδρος and not Aledrovski or Aleka
