Historians have nothing to mention about the ethnicity of alexander the great.it is a fact that he was greek. a greek legent. his name shows direclty his descent.alexander means the master of men.

"Men of Athens... In truth I would not tell it to you if I did not care so much for all Hellas (Greece); I myself am by ancient descent a Greek, and I would not willingly see Hellas change her freedom for slavery. " (speech of Alexander I of Macedonia upon being admitted to the Olympic games as a self-identifying Greek, Herodotus, " Histories", 9.45, ed. A. D. Godley)
It is odd and amusing that modern Greeks claim Alexander as their own. In fact, the ancient Greeks hated and feared Alexander (and his father Philip) and relatively few fought with him. However, many thousands of Greek mercenaries fought for the Persians. See Peter Green's books on Alexander.

Only why historians forget to mention that is coz Macedonians haven't their own state till 1991.Last 100 years greece use it to lie the world that the Macedonians do not exist.Macedonian land was occuped almost 2000 years and now is divided on 4 parts.Only 39% of their teritory is free.Every one can learn for Macedonians but from neutral sources not from greek sites.
Looks all Greek to me. The Yugoslav skopians weren't even around at this time. Alexander spread the Hellenic Greek culture throughout the known world and not some second grade Slavic one. The world knows this.
2:40 FALSE his historians claim he got in when a flying shield blasted an opening for him, and what is all this shit about him being Macedonian? who the fuck cares, hes Greek no his Macedonian, like there's any real difference, he was scottish no he was english, he was canadian no he was american, SAME SHIT DIFFERENT PILE
I don't know if you guys are retarted or you don't belive the things which you are saying or just a combination of both. First you say that Macedonia was ONLY settled by FYROMIANS. and at 1913 Greeks did 'genocide' and changed names on funerals and that they changed names of villages and cities and names and surnames and other many lies.
over than half of FYROM, Albania and Bulgaria is Greek territory which was lost throughout the years.
Greeks should be claiming balkan land not Fyromians.
How do you explain cities like Monastiraki (in present day fyrom)?????? Its clearly a Greek name not albanian, serbian or bulgarian.Monastiraki isn't the only city which was lost but hundreds of other cities and villages were Greek. RETURN ALL THAT LAND TO THE GREEKS.
Yes I agree all that land was Greek but that means that does not mean it should be part of Greece people have setteled into thoes lands. so if what you say is true then most of Europe should be Italy because of the Roman Empire or Asia should be Mongolia don't you agree?
Only stupid, uneducated people actually believe that the Macedonians were/are a seperate nation from the Greeks. Alexander the Great, the rest of the Macedonians and Macedonia were, are, will be Greek.
In 1913 you slavo-bulgars invaded a Greek region in Greece (Macedonia) and you lost the war.
There was never a bulgarian/serbian/albanian/slav/alien genocide.
I am not supporting any sides (btw i am not greek or bulgarian or from any country from the balkans)
most people think macedon is greek but really macedon was its own country with greek culture in truth macedonia wanted to be greek but they werent and the greeks hated the macedonians
@jokey1134 what exactly do you define as greek or macedonian. the states were always at war and always hated eachother. do you mean to say spartans were not greek because athenians hated them? thessalians were not greek because epirians and macedonians hated them? or because some theban or athenian wrote he hated macedoinans does this deny them the write to be greek?
Yes and i wan born in Thrace,am i not a Greek???IDIOT.Macedonia,Thrace,Thesalia.Crete,Peloponessos,Ionia islands,Kyklades,Dodecanesa,Cyprus and so many provinces are GREEK malaka!

Wait, it was in Ezekiel 26. Apparently, Alex T. Great gathered people from many nations, (such as the persians) and had it destroyed. The prophecy then states Tyre would be rebuilt and it would be a city 'where men cast their nets".
Just before WWII broke out, Tyre was refounded, but was rebuilt inland.
King Nebuchadnezzar also destroyed this city after it was rebuilt. Then the city of Tyre was rebuilt just after WWII, only it's not an island, but a port city.
This was predicted in the book of Ezekiel. I can't find the verse, though.
who fucking cares what you are, we're all human. seperation is what caused war, when religion taught man shame and differences. song by iron maiden - alexander the great.
The Greek (Demosthenes) who called Philip a barbarian was half barbarian himself. That means he didnt believe in his own words. Check out what Isocrates or Aristotle thought of Philip ;)
If you want the right to self-proclaim yourselves macedonians, you have to allow Alexander to self determine himself. And he said numerous times that he was Greek! If you love Alexander let him be what he thought he was. Dont tell me you know better than Alexander about his anchestry.
@chabos4 Do you even know how many times Alexander proclaimed he is a descendant of Achilles from his mother's side and Heracles from his father's side?
Do you even know that Alexander was hardly Macedonian? He was Molossian from his mother's side and from Argos from his father's side. Stop raping history.
Gentlemen. Macedonia was part of Greece. In fact Northern Greece is known as Macedonia to the Greeks.
Just as Thrace, Sparta and Athens were states in Alexanders time, so was what was known as Macedonia. Macedonia in Greece is not current day Macedonia the Country. That area was ancient Greece at some point including of course Heraclia, the city founded by Alexanders Father, Philip II.
So to say he was Macedonian and not Greek is erroneous.
"We can move against the barbarians and liberate ourselves from the Persian bondage FOR AS GREEKS we should not be slaves to barbarians"
"WE shall FIGHT FOR GREECE and our hearts WILL ALWAYS BE IN IT"
Alexander, HIMSELF declared in any cause that he and his Macedonians were GREEKS and were proud of that. What the fuck, you don’t believe him? Or what?
