history Dispute

>The Edoni (also Edones, Edonians, Edonides) (Greek: Ἠδωνοί) were a Thracian people who dwelt mostly between the Nestus and the Strymon rivers in southern Thrace, but also once dwelt west of the Strymon at least as far as the Axios.

Before Alexander the Great conquered the world, the Greeks said that he was Macedonian. After he conquered the world, the Greeks said that he was Greek.

But Macedonians were Greek. They spoke Greek, and they had Hellenic culture.

Today they are Slavs.

It's kind of hard to tell in this shitty photo, but it looks like at least a couple of these guys have shitty trigger discipline.

They spoke Macedonian. Greek was lingua franca at that time. Most of us speak English. Are we all Englishmen?

Slavs are language group, not racial.

It was Alexander himself who spread Hellenism.

So?
>Ancient Macedonian, the language of the ancient Macedonians, was spoken in the kingdom of Macedonia during the 1st millennium BC and belongs to the Indo-European language family. It gradually fell out of use during the 4th century BC, marginalized by the use of Attic Greek by the Macedonian aristocracy, the Ancient Greek dialect that became the basis of Koine Greek, the lingua franca of the Hellenistic period.

So even if we accept that ancient Macedonia was a different entity than Greeks initially, they became part of Hellenistic world and has no connection to current Slavs in Fyrom. Not in location, history, language or anything else.

So you are American if you speak English, eat Mcburgers, watch Rambo and use iphone? Nice logic.

But why Alexander have to prove his Greek roots in front of Olympic judges if Macedonians where Greeks?

>>3001607
Except "Macedonian" was a dialect of Greek. That's like saying the Spartans weren't Greek because they spoke Doric.

does Republic of Macedonia lay claim on Pella?
