MACEDONIA (the original)

Alexander III was born in 356 BC in Pella, capital at the time being of the Macedonian kingdom. He was son of the Macedonian king Philip II and Olympias, princess of Molossians in Epirus.
The Macedonian Royal House
The Macedonian royal house was called "Argeads" or "Temenidae". According to the tradition, the founder of the royal house Perdiccas - even if the name of the founder differs in reference with the ancient source used - along with his brothers, the "Temenidae" came to the place called Macedonia from the Greek city of Argos. These Temenidae were descendants of Heracles, through Temenus, thus they were called also 'Heracleids'.
Since the time of Alexander I, Macedonian kings participated in Olympic games, which as we all know only Greeks could take part. The Argive origin of the Macedonian royal house was well-attested and widely believed both from Macedonians, as well as the rest of Greeks.

there is an inscripted stone in the entrance of government building in Skopje for the pride of Ancient Macedonians :

ΜΑΚΕΔΟΝΙΑΡΧΩΝ ΤΩΝ ΝΑΩΝ ΤΗ ΠΑΤΡΙΔΙ ΣΥΝ ΠΑΝΤΙ ΤΩ ΚΟΣΜΩ ΤΩ ΘΚΤ' ΕΤΕΙ

I m sure it will be easy for Skopians to translate the language of their suposed ancestors lolski

" Skopje " from latin form " Skupi " itself from greek form " Skoupidia " = GARBAGE
