MACEDONIA IS GREEK
MACEDONIA - ΜΑΚΕΔΟΝΙΑ
According to ancient Greek mythology, Macedon - ancient Greek ΜΑΚΕΔΩΝ (Makedōn), poetic ΜΑΚΗΔΩΝ (Makēdōn) - was the name of the first phylarch (tribal chief) of the ΜΑΚΕΔΟΝΕΣ (Makedónes).
The only surviving historical reference on the ethnic origin of the Macedonians comes from the Greek historian Herodotus, who in his Histories states that the Dorian tribes passed into the area of the Pindus mountains, and were known as Makednoi (Macedonians). These Macedonians seem to have been left behind during the great Dorian invasion (Histories 1.56.1). The region of Macedonia (Gr. ΜΑΚΕΔΟΝΙΑ) most likely took its name from this tribe, which according to Herodotus was called Makednoi (ΜΑΚΕΔΝΟΙ). The word "Makednos" derives from the Doric Greek word ΜΑΚΟΣ - "makos" (Attic form ΜΗΚΟΣ - "mékos"), which is Greek for "length". This theory seems to be in agreement with Herodotus' records. According to scholars Macedonians took this name either because they were physically tall, or because they settled in the mountains. The latter definition would translate "Macedonian" as "Highlander".
Alexander the Great
(Greek: Μέγας Aλέξανδρος,[1][2] Megas Alexandros; July 20 356 BC -- June 10 323 BC), also known as Alexander III, was an Ancient Greek king of Macedon (336--323 BC).
The name Αλέξανδρος derives from the Greek words αλέξω (to repel, shield, protect) and ανήρ (man; genitive case ανδρός), and means "protector of men."
He was one of the most successful military commanders in history, and was undefeated in battle. By the time of his death, he had conquered most of the world known to the ancient Greeks.
In Ancient times of Greece at Olympic Games only Greek City-States could take apart in games!All other were banned as they was Barbarians(ΒΑΡΒΑΡΟΣ,Πας Μη Έλλην Βάρβαρος).
Alexander The Great was take apart on Olympic Games with his horse Bucephalus(Βουκεφάλας) as he was Greek!
Bucephalus (Ancient Greek: Βουκεφάλας, from βούς bous, "ox" and κεφαλή kephalē, "head" meaning "ox-head") (ca. 355 BC? -- June, 326 BC) was Alexander the Great's horse and arguably the most famous horse of antiquity. Bucephalus would be his companion and one of his best friends for the next two decades until the horse died (according to Plutarch due to old age, for he was already 30; other sources claim that Bucephalus died of wounds sustained in a battle in India). Alexander then named a city after him called Bucephalia or Bucephala.

HISTORY OF MACEDONIA
Early history
The first Macedonian state emerged in the 8th or early 7th century BC under the Argead Dynasty, when the Macedonians are said to have migrated to the region from further west. Their first king is recorded as Perdiccas I. Around the time of Alexander I of Macedon, the Macedonians started to expand into Eordaia, Bottiaea, Pieria, Mygdonia, and Almopia. Near the modern city of Veria, Perdiccas I (or, more likely, his son, Argaeus I) built his capital, Aigai (modern Vergina).
After a brief period of Persian overlordship under Darius Hystaspes, the state regained its independence under King Alexander I (495--450 BC). Prior to the 4th century BC, the kingdom covered a region approximately corresponding to the province of Macedonia of modern Greece. It became increasingly Hellenised during this period, though prominent Greeks appear to have regarded the Macedonians as uncouth.
A unified Macedonian state was eventually established by King Amyntas III (c. 393--370 BC), though it still retained strong contrasts between the cattle-rich coastal plain and the fierce isolated tribal hinterland, allied to the king by marriage ties. They controlled the passes through which barbarian invasions came from Illyria to the north and northwest. Amyntas had three sons; the first two, Alexander II and Perdiccas III reigned only briefly. Perdiccas III's infant heir was deposed by Amyntas' third son, Philip II of Macedon, who made himself king and ushered in a period of Macedonian dominance of Greece.
