One concerned Greek of "thousands who have e-mailed" has made this response. Dear Sir/Madam, I am appalled at your neglect of duty to research your answers To a quiz where contestants are eliminated when they give the right answers.
You could do your audience and yourself a favour and maybe go back to school to learn some basic history. Please take that extra moment to check what is correct and what is propaganda. The following is taken from the following web page. I have even highlighted the relevant information so you don’t have to read through the Rest of the history lesson as you may learn something. (please note .uk is British –not Greek – incase you weren’t aware of that) www.bbc.co.uk/history/historic_figures/alexander_the_great.shtmlAlexander the Great (356 - 323 BC)Alexander the Great in battle on his horse, Bucephalas ©
Alexander III of Macedon, better known as Alexander the Great, single-handedly changed the nature of the ancient world in little more than a decade. Alexander was born in the northern Greek kingdom of Macedonia in July 356 BC. His parents were Philip II, King of Macedon, and his wife Olympias. Alexander was educated by the philosopher Aristotle. Philip was assassinated in 336 BC and Alexander inherited a powerful yet volatile kingdom. He quickly dealt with his enemies at home and reasserted Macedonian power within Greece. He then set out to conquer the massive Persian Empire. Against overwhelming odds, he led his army to victories across the Persian territories of Asia Minor, Syria and Egypt without suffering a single defeat. His greatest victory was at the Battle of Gaugamela, in what is now northern Iraq, in 331 BC. The young king of Macedonia, leader of the Greeks, overlord of Asia Minor and pharaoh of Egypt became Great King of Persia at the age of 25. Over the next eight years in his capacity as king, commander, politician, scholar and explorer, Alexander led his army a further 11,000 miles, founding over 70 cities and creating an empire that stretched across three continents and covered around two million square miles. The entire area from Greece in the west, north to the Danube, south into Egypt and as far to the east as the Indian Punjab, was linked together in a vast international network of trade and commerce. This was united by a common Greek language and culture, whilst the king himself adopted foreign customs in order to rule his millions of ethnically diverse subjects. Alexander was acknowledged as a military genius who always led by example, although his belief in his own indestructibility meant he was often reckless with his own life and those of his soldiers. The fact that his army only refused to follow him once in 13 years of a reign during which there was constant fighting, indicates the loyalty he inspired. He died of a fever in Babylon in June 323 BC.

They can party all they like, one fact remains.
Greeks don't doubt their history. People in FYROM do. They showed this on their news. To convince some Fyromians that they are a nation with an ancient history [cough, cough].
People in FYROM clearly have an identity crisis BIG time.
The contestant in question has the right to sue and SHOULD sue these Silly, stupid British.

If not, why you are on the greek side here always? And by the way, we albanians do not care what Alexander was, so do not involve us in your game with macedonians...that's your game, not ours

Not as far as I know, but Kanaris should know the answer I guess...he always says that we are latecomers in Balkans. Since he is so sure about that, he might know something about the Illyrians. Aadmin says that Illyrians are a greek tribe by the way...

AlbQ, I have a reason for asking...allow me some syllogisms now...since there is no Illyrian alphabet (even though it seems impossible Teuta the Queen never to have sent messages in written and she seems to have conducted piratery with some people who couldn't write - presumably couldn't count when trading) I am assuming Illyrians are Romans, since if one digs in Durres or Shkodra, one finds many Latin and Greek scripts...therefore, if according to this logic Illyrians were Romans or Greeks (some claim slavs after the Byzant and the Glagolitic alphabet), then Macedonians may have been Greeks since Greek scripts are found in Pellas...
