Macedonia today
Macedonia today is one of the geographic regions of continental Greece and constitutes the southern and larger part of the wider geographic and historical region of Macedonia.

Ancient History
In 336 B.C., Alexander the Great became the leader of the Greek kingdom of Macedonia. By the time he died 13 years later, Alexander had built an empire that stretched from Greece all the way to India. That brief but thorough empire-building campaign changed the world: It spread Greek ideas and culture from the Eastern Mediterranean to Asia. Historians call this era the "Hellenistic period."
