Ancient Greeks stereotyped and called all non-Greeks barbarians.These included the Persians, Thracians, Illyrians, Macedonians, etc. The modern Greeks however,claims that Philip was Greek, and that Demosthenes called him "not only no Greek, nor related to the Greeks" and "barbarian",it is very clear from Demosthenes’s words that he regards the Macedonians and their king Philip II as non-Greeks. This modern Greek position is easily debunked, however, when we consider the following two points:
a) If the Macedonians were Greeks but still called barbarians and are related to the Greeks, why is there no other Greek tribe called barbarians ? Yet no Spartan, Athenian, Theban, Epirote, was ever called non-Greek or barbarian during any of these political and war conflicts! Not ONCE!
b) ancient Greeks also called the Persians barbarians. Are we suppose to say now, based on the modern Greek "logic", that the Persians were also a Greek tribe ?
Ancient Greeks called all non-Greeks barbarians, and the modern Greek argument can simply not be true, and is quite frankly ridiculous. It does however, prove that modern Greek writers would go to make the Macedonians forcefully Greek, steel the Macedonian history, and even rewrite the feelings of thier ancient Greek ancesters.
This guy finally got it right. Easy to explain Demosthenes was a politician that was against the non democratic traditions of Macedonia. Every one knows Athens = Democracy and Macedon = Kings. Demosthenes was campaigning against Philip rise in power as a threat to democracy. Just like today he painted Macedonians as barbarians so vote on destroying them. Just like Jimmy Hoffa painted Republicans as Barbarians and vote to take them out!

Best document to support if Macedonians were Greek is a world famous one written in Egyptian and Macedonian, The Rosetta Stone written in Greek for the Macedonian rulers of Egypt!
When the Greeks started recording history, the Slavs and the Romans of the "West" were hanging off trees. Your falsified bastard country should shut up and get an identity because Macedonia down to the bone is Greek.
The "Wanker" is your father for giving birth to such a stubborn retard that can't even comprehend from what is right an wrong. Above you have a lecturer from one of the most prestige universities in the world, and you still blame us Greeks merely because you can't hack the truth...
Face the facts that your bastard state was nothing but a creation of communist wankers that wanted nothing more but territorial claims to Greece's greatest piece of land WANKER!

Makedonia was never Greek , that is FACT.
the greek State at the time of Alexander the Great never exist , that is also FACT.
The first battle of Alexander the Great was against the Athenians, that is FACT.
Tell me , what is the oldest coin with the inscription : ELLADA,HELLAS or Greek.
Tell me , what is available on all coins of the Macedonians:Ellada, Hellas or Greek?
Tell me , what is in the bible writing: Ellada, Hellas or Greek?
Greeks can never be MAKEDONIANS.
