      Look our people where always very close, Una fatsa una ratsa you know, even though we took our seperate ways from antiquity, we can't just deny we are very culturally close, at one point in antiquity we where essentially one "nation" even though national concioussness at that point had not been similar to what it is today. However we share a lot of the same blood and its not just South Italy, Sicily, Sardinia and Ancona that had Greek colonies. Rome's foundation can be traced back to Troy, which where Greeks essentially and Greece. Also to Etruria which was hellenized. Generally all the European coasts of Europe where hellenized with the exception of parts of south Spain where the Phoenicians got to first. Illyrians where hellenized too. Italy however due to distance and importance had been hellenized way more than the rest aformentioned areas. Samnites and Rome had also been hellenized. To say that we were only "hellenes" would be untrue. Its our common ancestry that got further intertwined with the Roman Empire. Thus it can be said that Macedonia is as much your legacy as it mine (that i live there). After all the war against Persian was a fight of the West or to state it better Europe against the East (Persia). Hellenic spirit, knowledge, advancement, literature, science, arts etc went on to define Europe, shaped it after it. www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/jonathanjonesblog/2011/nov/03/greece-europe-cultural-eurozone-crisis If that stands true for the Germans and the Brittish, whom are far away and never actually directly interacted with us, at least not a lot before the 15th century, it surely can be said for you too, whom share the most bonds with us than any other nation, as we do too.

    Macedonia was not just a Greek state. It was the Greek state that saved the Greek nation in a period that the Greeks retreated in all directions (Balkans from the Illyrians and Thracians, Asia from the Persians, Italy mainly from the Bruttians, Sicily and Iberia from the Carthaginians etc). Macedonia protected the Greek nation and spread the Greek language and culture as far as India. The reason that the whole eastern Mediterranean spoke greek for centuries it was the rise of Macedonia.

    -----------------------
    Some history:
    -----------------------
    Before we do an analysis, we need to take into account that before the Panhellenic idea was established, Greece was organized in states ("polis kratos"). All states were autonomous or formed coalitions, but they had common language and religion with small admixtures depending on the geomorphology and the interactions of the various states. It is also true that Macedonia was considered Hellenic territory from the linguistic and religious standpoints.
    Αccording to Herodotus (484-425 B.C), Macedonia was a Hellenic population of Doric origin which started from the location of Fthiotis in Greece during the age of Deucalion, while there are concrete references about Macedonia in Ancient Greek Mythology. The name Macedonian, itself, in the Ancient Greek Language means lean.
    Beyond the written proof of the Hellenic origin of Macedonians, we need to stress out:
    - The participation of ancient Macedonia in the Olympic Games of antiquity (prior to 500 B.C).
    - Τhe religious beliefs of ancient Macedonians was the same as that of the rest of Greece (12 Gods). This can be proven by archaeological findings and can be easily understood by observing the names of Macedonian Cities such as Dion (honoring Zeus), Apollonea (honoring Apollo) and others.
    - The dialect was Hellenic as it can be observed from archaeological findings while a portion of words was adopted by Thracians and Illyrians. During the 4th Century B.C the Attic dialect was adopted(books.google.gr/books?id=QsJ183uUDkMC&pg=PA94&redir_esc=y&hl=el#v=onepage&q&f=false).
    By the time the Panhellenic idea was first proposed by philosophers Gorgias and Isocrates (380 B.C), Macedonia was ~100% in modern Greek territory. Αfter the conference of Corinth in 337 B.C, during which Philip II reigned, the Hellenic coalition was first organized attempt for a Hellenic state.
    The territory of Skopje was named Paeonia during the ancient times. When the Roman empire was established, a new administrative territory including all Skopje, large part of today's Macedonia and also a northern part was named by them Macedonia.
    -----------------------------
    Some Geography:
    -----------------------------
    As far as I can see, throughout time, Macedonia's ~15% was in today's Skopje according to the video, starting from GREEK territory. During Philip the 2nd's reign, the Greek territory expanded including ~40% of today's Skopje territory and almost 50% of today's Bulgaria as DEPENDENT territories (el.wikipedia.org/wiki/Συνέδριο_Κορίνθου#/media/File:Map_Macedonia_336_BC-en.svg).
    Strabo, the ancient geographer, said: "Macedonia is Hellas" (Estin oun Ellas kai i Makedonia).
    ---------------------
    Conclusions:
    ---------------------
    Macedonia has undeniable ancient Greek origins as has been briefly discussed above. Skopje's ~40% was incorporated in the Ancient Hellenic state by Philip the 2nd as a dependent state. Therefore, Skopje cannot have ANY claim on ancient Macedonian history. They are as much Macedonians as were the Egyptians, Persians or Indians conquered by Alexander the Great.

      @@whtfl Nope. You are a slav whose descents migrated to the balkans 900 years after Alexander the Great’s death and 500 years after Thesaloniki was established. Can you explain to me how is Thesaloniki your city but the name it’s literally Greek? Also Macedonia if you don’t know was an ancient kindom in Greece and a huge modern region in northen Greece. Macedonia is also a Greek name. Macedon in ancient Greek mythology was the grandson of Hellin (Greek). Alexander Philip Olympia and every name of an ancient Macedonian is Greek too. Search up Olympia’s (Alexander’ mother) Philip (His father) and his own name and see their meanings. Also search up Macedon. It means Tall and slim in ancient greek. Also Alexander the Great with Macedonians and all the OTHER Greeks spread the Greek culture around the world. He also Spoke Greek worshiped the Greek gods, participated in the Olympics (Something only Greeks could do because other nations were considered as barbarians). Here is a famous quote of his. “Who ever is not a Greek is a barbarian”. Adding to that you should also be aware of the fact that every Greek kingdom followed Alexander to the quest to conquer Asia. So, for every battle he won. He sent back to Athens and the Parthenon 🏛 a helmet of a dead barbarian soldier with the following quote written on it. “Alexander son of Philip and the Greeks except the Spartans conquer this area or won this battle ect. His teacher was a very famous Grek philosopher of that time and he is the main reason he admired so much the Greek philosophy and culture considered it superior to others and wanted to spread it around the world just like he did. Now I am going to explain to you why people of your country consider themselves Macedonians. First of all you need to know that the vast majority (around 85%) of the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedonia is located in modern Greece. So, during the times that the balkans were under Ottoman (turkish ) occupation, hundreds of thousands of Bulgarians lived with Greeks in the Macedonian kingdom. So as Greece had aleeady formed it’s own democratic country with the areas they freed from the ottomans, they were looking to gain more land by freeing other areas were Greeks lived. Bulgaria didn’t like that because they also wanted Macedonia (The huge Greek region). So as Bulgaria had really good relationships with Russia, Russia wanted to use Bulgaria in order to make slavic nations and it’s influence stronger created the imaginary Macedonian nationality, until that time if you were a Macedonian it meant you were only Greek. Greece had already huge claims in Macedonia because of the Greek population leaving there and their huge history (Alexander the Great) So Bulgarians helped by the Russians started that propaganda in order to claim Macedonia land too. They didn’t succeed until the Yugoslavia days. Tito who was a croatian wanted to bring back this fake propaganda with the imaginary Macedonian nationality so Serbs ( The area wher fyrom is located today once was ruled by Serbians) wouldn’t claim that land either. The other reason Tito brought the fake propaganda back is because he feared that skopjans would want to leave Yugoslavia to join their “brothers” bulgarians and that would be very bad for Yugoslavia. If you have any other doubt about wether or not Macedonia and Alexander are Greeks try to read the ancient Macedonian coins (You can’t because they are written in Greek and you speak a slavic language), ask any educated historian around the world (except from your country), watch history channel and the episodes they made about Alexander the Great, or instead try something more enjoyable that would also help you learn a few basic things about history, watch the movie “Alexander”. Now I understand that you may want to call yourself Macedonian because your ancestors lived there alongside Greeks for many years (not in the ancient times) but you have to accept like your country’s government did that you people living in the country called “ North Macedonia” are not related to ancient Macedonians or Alexander the Great. Don’t try to refuse it because your country’s government has admitted it in the prespa agreement. Furthermore you literally have no historical evidence to do so. Also don’t use that lame line “If they were Greeks why would they attack at first other Greeks. Greeks used to fight each other all the time during ancient times like in the pelloponisian war and in many other occasions.

    🏛🇬🇷why macedonia =Greece 🏛🇬🇷
    1.Herodotus reports that the Macedonians are Greek, identical to the Dorians, who originally lived in Pindos mount.
    2.The Macedonians themselves considered their ancestors, Heracles and the royal dynasty of the Macedonians, the Argaetes, attributed its origin to the first Dorian king of Argos Temmen.
    3. Strabo the Roman inform us in his book about geography that Macedonia is a part of Greece.
    4.Alexander his family and thousands macedonians participate in Olympic games (only Greeks allowed for olympics in ancient times
    5. Anc.Macedonians was believing that Phillip has origin from Hercules !
    6.mother of Alexander was Greek from Molosian kingdom of Epirus (the same with Achilles ) ..
    7.ΜΑΚΕΔΟΝΙΑ writing in Greek the same way 3000 years.
    8.macedonian had participate with the rest Greeks in Trojan war..! 9.ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΣ is a Greek name ..(father)ΦΙΛΙΠΠΟΣ Phillip mean:friend of horse is Greek name.. (Mother)Olympias ΟΛΥΜΠΙΑΔΑ is Greek name..
    (until his horse) ΒΟΥΚΕΦΑΛΑΣ Buckephalus is greek name(and all of them writing with the same way 3000years) ..
    10.all Macedonians was speaking Greek(as first and basic language) ..
    11.Alexanders teacher was Aristotle (Greek)..
    13.King Phillip attached to Ionian union (democratic Athens) because they rule the Greek world and Phillip (who supports monarchy) was dreaming do the same.. Athenians had lost finaly the control of greece ...but war between Greek states was something very common like the war between Athens and Sparta..
    15.all Greek cities states vote for the king who will represent Greece in Asia campaign against Persia. The winner was the Phillip but with his death gives this title to his sun 16.Alexander take in asia Achilles (greek hero)sword for good luck in his armor..
    17.he was praing in Greek gods.. and in Greek oracles all over Greece
    16.alexandros revenge Persian empire because they had attacked to Greece in the past..
    18.when he dies all the successors generals was Greeks..
    19.the parts of his empire in India after his death was famous like Indogreeks kingdoms..Ptolemy ( and Cleopatra )king of Egypt was Greek !
    20.The Persian and Indian history writes that Greek king Alexander attack them..
    21.apostle Paul in Bible says very clearly that when he visit Macedonia (roman region this period)to speak many GREEKS believed him!
    I can mention here that in bible profit Daniel speaks about the Greek king who will come and conquer Persia
    22.notable is that Alexander lives in 3 century BC and savic population's comes to Macedonian area in 6 century AC (900 years later)
    🏛🇬🇷
    why Macedonia=greece (modern time )
    1.modern Greece has the 80%of ancient Macedonia - FYROM Slavic Macedonia has the 20% of ancient Macedonia and part of ancient Poeonia
    2.after ottoman empire retreat 18 century all balcan nationalities fight for them freedom ..and this populations was Serbs Bosnians Montenegro's Albanians Greeks Bulgarians Romanians .....we can't find Macedonians population in any document in this period because Macedonians of course are the Greeks..
    3.Tito's communistic Yugoslavia tries to extend on Aegean .. of course the opportunity for that it was to create a fake historical ID to the nort populations of his country..
    3. until 1970 this part of Yugoslavia was named Vardatska (not Macedonia)
    4. until 1980 they use a red flag with yellow communistic star and not the vergina ancient Greek sympol
    5. this nation consists by 30% Albanian 60%slavic 10% gypsies Bulgarian Turkish populations so they continue the fake story that they are macedonians to create a country ID for their exist
    6. 90% of ancient treasures status temples graves are in Greece (and the most important Macedonian cities like Pella or Amfipolli or Vergina )..on the other hand FYROM has only an empty museum with fake representations and fake modern status in Skopje
    7.after UN decision this country is named as FYROM and real macedonia continue as a part of Greece !

    Interestingly: Alexander 's father Phillip II --- upon having 'bested' the Molossian king Arubas in approx. 350 BC --- took his son (also Alexander) as 'surety' whereupon he 'transplanted' him to 'Macedon-proper' --- i.e.: my own parent 's (provincial) place of origin (in present-day Hellas/ Greece) --- wherewith Alexander the Molossian (from NW Epirus in ancient Hellas) COULD GET A 'PROPER' HELLENIC' (I.E.: GREEK) EDUCATION (...i.e.: IN Macedon during 350 to 343 BC)! As well: Scientist Nicholas Hammond himself attests to the fact Molossia (Epirus) AND ancient-Macedon both spoke Western Doric Hellenic /Greek much like the Dorian Spartans themselves! It 's 'high-time' Bulgar-speaking south-Slavs (from the former Communist Yugoslavia) start embracing their 'true' Bulgar (RICH) heritage in-lieu of 'plagiarizing' that of my parents (+ myself); JUST 'cause it was state-policy (since post-WWII) to 'inculcate' the Slav contingent on Hellas /Greece 's north frontier w/ an artificial sense of 'newfound' (ethnic) identity; w/ the ongoing aim of destabilizing + (ultimately) annexing N. Greece to a 'Leftist' Block (at least until the '90s)!

    A joke of modern european history. So sad to see a country take a name of an ancient greek macedonian empire and spread as their own. Part of the land in Yugoslavia was Macedonian Empire. That can't make you a Macedonian. 1+1=2. It's so simple. You don't even know what Macedonia means.
    Some people, tribes, ethnicities seems that can't see beyond. Peace to all from Macedonia. Yes the Macedonia, or correctly Makedonia - Μακεδονία. I was born there and specifically in Thessaloniki. Thessaloniki is the name of Alexander half sister. Oh by the way Thessaloniki in Greek means victory of the Thessalians. Her father was king Phillipos II which his name means "friend of horse". His husband was Cassander. His name means "praise of men". People from south Yugoslavia please try to find your identity. You do have a history influenced by Bulgarians, Serbs, Albanians, Romans, Greeks- Byzantines, Ottomans. You have a beautiful country and people. Move on. Peace to all

    2. The Argead dynasty was of Greek Dorian origin, and was also known as the Temenid, Argeádai or Argeios dynasty, in allusion to his Greek hometown of Argos, in Peloponnese.
    3. Philip II was a student of Epaminondas, great Greek general of the Hegemonic and great city of Thebes, he was also Pelopidas eromenos and lived with Pammenes, who served in the sacred band of Thebes and was a leading figure in Theban politics itself
    4. Alexander's mother Olympias was the daughter of Neoptolemus I of Epirus, from the greek tribe Aeacidae.
    5. Alexander was a student of Aristotle and spent much of his life in Thebes, just like his father, how could he understand Aristotle without being or speaking Greek?

      The majority of Macedonians speak a Slavic language, identifying themselves as Orthodox Christians and sharing their cultural and historical "Orthodox Byzantine-Slavic heritage" with their neighbors.
      As a Macedonian Turk and Muslim, I Respect Other Religions And Languages.

      Bonus:
      -the period after Alexander's campaign is called "Hellenistic" for all those reasons and because of the culture spread
      -macedonian kings brought philosophers (like Aristotle, who was a Macedonian himself), tragic poets and various artists to Pella, from all around Greece, to enhance the people's identity as a Hellenic people
      -Alexander himself read the Iliad, kept it in his bed and possibly carried it with him in battle (who could be more of a Hellene than the one being taught by Aristotle, identifying as an ancestor of Achilles, Heracles, while loving Homer and Dionysus?)
      -they despised their neighbouring barbarians and suffered much from raids, which caused them to further forge this identity
      -Herodotus depicts a scene where a Macedonian King finds the Greek allies and warns them not to engage Xerxes' horde in Thessaly and advises to make a stand in another pass, for the Persians could envelop them (note that Macedon was a Persian vassal at the time). Who else would do that, except a Hellene.

    It´s funny that Serbs make statement like Macedonia is Greece, when dominated by Belgrade Yugoslavia created Socialist Republic of Macedonia in 1945 altogether with the so-called Macedonian language and Macedonian nation. Serbs created so much problems for Greece.

    The modern day Macedonians (fyrom) are a product of that region’s long and twisted history. To hate on these people is to hate the region itself and what it has meant to anyone who has ever laid claim to these lands. They represent the ever changing borders of southeast Europe.
    When people talk with absolute certainty about the countries and people of this Balkan region; it should be dismissed and not accepted as fact. The perspectives are unlimited when borders change between people of very similar cultures and ethnicities for as long as they have.
    Yet there are a few truths we should all acknowledge:
    - The Balkan and Greek lands have changed hands many times throughout history. Each region has conquered another of the regions at some point.
    - Current fyrom lands were part of ancient Macedonia.
    - the Macedonian kingdom derived from a region that was not Greek like the southern Athens based Greece, but undoubtedly heavily influenced by the strong Greek culture - including language especially.
    Let’s all take a step back with the hate on a group of people who interestingly enough are one of the only groups to not invade other Balkan lands in modern history.

      - The current country of North Macedonia was called in antiquity Paeonia while the north part was Dardania. The only regions that North Macedonia has of the ancient Macedonia was Pelagonia and North Lyncestis , regions who were partly Macedonian.
      - The ancient Macedonians were not hellinised since they had always been Doric Greek. They spoke a Doric Greek dialect ( E.g check Pella curse table ) and later adopted Attik which was the lingua Franca of the time and the ancestor of koine. They worshipped the Greek pantheon and Greek heroes while they used a common Greek calendar. They participated in Panhellenic games only for Greeks.They were always part of the Greek genealogies in every different genealogy still exists to this day. Lastly and most importantly they always identified themselves as Greek and never as non Greek.
      Modern Slavs of North Macedonia are completely irrelevant to the ancient Macedonian heritage since Slavs migrated to the region in 6th AD.
