@Alexandros1294

@HappyFace877 8. Alexander inprisoned the Greek Mercenaries at the Granicus for 'fighting against their common brethren and breaking the treaty and rules of the League of Corinth'

9. The period after Alexander's death is called the HELLENISTIC Era.

10. Macedonians still worshipped Greek deities and had Greek names. Most Macedonian names have meanings in the Greek language. However, some names cannot be translated into Ancient Greek of that time period. It's more archaic.

@HappyFace877 6. Philip, during the Sacred Wars, was elected as defender of Delphi, and he was elected to be the leader of the Pythian Games. That shows that the true Greeks even decided that Philip was 'one of them.'

7. Alexander the Great even considered himself a Greek. At Chaeronea he says that he didn't feel joy over his father's victory at Chaeronea, and that they should be united, as they are all of the same blood.

@HappyFace877 3. The Macedonians were allowed to participate in the Olympic Games, which was a right reserved to Greeks only.

4. The Macedonians, although considered backwater by other Greeks, called themselves Greek and considered themselves to be true Greeks.

5. Philip wanted to lead the Greeks on a PANHELLENIC Crusade, and Isocrates even called Philip to unite the Greeks.

[Alexandros1294]

@HappyFace877 1. The Macedonians were descended from Argive Greeks in the House of Temenidae, and Heracles was of this royal family. This is where the Argead Dynasty claimed descent from.

2. The Macedonians spoke a Doric dialect of the Greek language mixed with words from the Thracian and Illyrian Languages, since the Macedni, who founded Macedonia, mixed with Thracian and Illyrian tribes once they reached the area of Macedonia.

@HappyFace877 Well, since you're an ignorant fuck, I better educate you for your own good.
