It is an encyclopaedia for Alexander the Great and covers bibliography, as far as in Greece, as far in the whole planet".

  • Our Kosovar friend, you are correct: thank you for remind me that Byzantium was an Albanian empire, as was the German Holly Roman empire and the Russian empire (all had the Byzantine double eagle as symbol). Check out the Ming dynasty in China.Maybe that was Albanian too.

    One note for you: You are pitifully unprepared by your lack of education to converse with a Greek. As soon as you open your foul mouth you betray your intellectual vacuum.

    Now go sell some drugs, and leave us alone.

  • Alexander the Great spoke the Greek language, and was from Macedonia which is Greek and will always be Greek. Some people from Skopje don't have an identity therefore they are trying to steal one form the Greeks. Shameful

  • Now we only invent the gyro

  • alexander was great...but he retreated at the boundaries of Dacia...

    want to know something? i love Romania, Greece, Russia, Bulgaria and Jugoslavia (for now Serbia) because we were here...and we stayed here, no matter who came, pillaged and demanded.

    They all came, demanded land and water, and became...land and water!

  • MESSAGE TO U, ALL EUROPEANS,: LEAVE THE RELIGION OF THE MOSLEM LOSERS! THEY WERE GREAT; THEY'RE NO MORE. And for all u Christians: Stop fighting among urself!!, U SHOULD UNITE. Constantinople never accepted that her empire was fading...and never forgot about the SCHISM OF 1054. They never had THE ADVANTAGE OF HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE that we all have now. They prefered the MOSLEM YOKE THAN UNITING TO LATIN CULTURE.The price they paid was: 1453, THE CONQUEST OF CONSTANTINOPLE!!EUROPE:UNITE!!

  • ...to incorporate Macedonian GREATNESS into Greek culture.DEMOSTENES never accepted Phillip and Macedonians.Even Aristotle was Macedonian.NOW: BEING GREEK NOT NECESARILY MEANS HAVING BORN IN GREECE,U FOOLS!!GREEK'S A CHARACTER; In such a sense, Aristotle,Phillip, & Alexander were GREEKS! Even if they had been born in China, they were influenced by the WINNING,leading culture of that time:GREEK. Remember how the people from Constantinople, even the Ottomans refered to the Bizantines? ROMANS!!!

  • HERE WE HAVE A BUNCH O F DISUNITED EUROPEANS!! U NEVER LEARN!! You almost get conquered by the BARBARIAN MOSLEMS because of disunity!!! Message to all of u FOOLS: We humans follow the winners!! So u Albanias leave ur ignominious and backward FORCEFULLY IMPOSSED RIDICULOUS ISLAM. AND FOR U so called  GREEKS: U were great. No more. greeks @ Alexander's time never accepted Macedonians as Greeks!! To u they're BARBARIANS.Since human follow the winners,is understandable thta u want to incorporate..

  • If we were to look at a map of Alexander's Empire, you'll see that much of it encompassed the former Persian lands. Why did Alexander continuously pushed East, rather than West? It was perhaps Western Europe at the time composed of dozens of warring backwards tribes.

  • It was more likely that Alexander's army saw some of the inventions of nations he encountered during his campaigns, adopting and perhaps even improving on previous designs.

  • I am happy you are not a Kossovar, but your foul language surely matches a drug dealers scatological dictionary.

    Test for you today: translate into Albanian : Kastriotis, Apollonia, Foustanella.

  • all I told you is to continue selling druggs, lik a good Kossovar you are...I did not tell you to take druggs...see what happens when you take druggs?...You write stuff like that...
