the real problem with the phalanx is that they could not protect their flanks. the reason Alexander the Great was so successful was because he had light infantry and cavalry to protect the flanks of his army. i think we can all agree on that.

@BoxStudioExecutive Go ahead, keep waving your dick around. I bet it really makes you feel big.

@lordj15987 You are, for not giving facts their due, and engaging in bullshit historical revisionism.

[lordj15987]

@BoxStudioExecutive I've given up on this argument. Neither side is willing to budge, so I've agreed to disagree. And you're insulting someone of the internet. Who's the real idiot here?

[lordj15987]

@chinbitch LOL. Oh yes, way to sound smart starting off with something like that.

Oh, and for the record. *Macedon *Greece *Greece *Greece. Learn some grammar before trying to insult someone. Otherwise you only make yourself look like a "fucktard"

@lordj15987 you fuck tard macdeon was doing it for greece he admired the greece so much he wanted his place to be like greece

@lordj15987 The Greek Cities accepted Macedon at the Greek Council of Greek Cities years before Alexander was born. The area called Macedon in antiquity is today, part of Greece. People in Macedon then...spoke a dialect of Greek. You're an idiot.

@lordj15987 It was Leonidas of Sparta, Themistocles of Athens and Alexander of Makedon. They were all greeks. I make a mistake in my last post. I wanted to write that the ancient Makedons were considering of greeks and of hellenized Illyrians and Panonians. Alexander was a Makedon. But he fought and conquered for the glory of Greece. That´s why we call this period Hellenistic Greece. -.-

Search for yourself! Educate yourself!

[lordj15987]

@MrAgnostosAnonymos Turn of phrase. And while they may have been hellenized, that still does not change the fact that most know him as Alexander of MACEDON. Not, Alexander of Greece. Which was the whole point of my ORIGINAL comment. That Alexander was not a traditional "greek". IE someone from Sparta, Athens, or Corinth or the general landmass accepted as GREECE. He was from Macedon.

@lordj15987 Country??? WTF man?

Back then there wasn´t even ONE fucking country on this planet. There were kingdoms, tribes, city-states. And ancient Greece was composed of some of these. Makedonia was a Kingdom settled in northern Greece. Next to Thessaly, Epirus and Thrace. The people living there were so so Hellenized that they were actually to Greeks. Their culture, their language, their Religion. This is no bullshit, but most of the leading historians confirm to that. -.- MALAKA

@lordj15987 macedon was a greek state but there was no greece back then greek was more like a culture
