Callisthenes of Olynthus 1.15.1-4

All the historians and ancient scripts told about
Alexander Aristotle Philip Ptolemy Hephaestion the Macedonians
Plato Socrates Pericles Solon Thucydides the Athenians
Leonidas Lycurgus Lysander Menelaus the Spartans
Hercules Plutarch Pindar Pelopidas Epaminondas the Boeotians

Agamemnon Iphigeneia the Mycenaean’s
Achilles Jason Patroclus the Thessalians
Hippocrates Asclepius Odysseus Homer Ajax Theseus Pausanias Pythagoras Herodotus Xenophon Democritus Euclid Archimedes and many-many others all were from different places of ancient Greece.

    To all Greeks: we (the rest of the world) know that the FYROM has stolen the name Macedonia. Don’t worry so much about it. If anything, it only puts them to shame. We should not even talk about them on this page. Too much free publicity.

  18. ArgeadDynasty Said,

    Alexander the Great …
    Alexander the Great was Greek

    Alexanders Greek descent, and in general Argead Greek lineage went unquestioned by ancient Greek and Roman writers, revealing a widely belief in ancient Greek and Roman world (including of course Macedonians themselves), the Argead royal house were Greeks descended from Argos of Peloponnese. The founder of their house belonged to the royal house of Argos, the Temenidae, descendants of Temenus, whose ancestor was Heracles, son of Zeus.

  19. MrOlympiakakias80 Said,

    Alexander in greek …
    Alexander in greek is Αλέξανδρος=> Αλεξ – άνδρας => Αλεξ: suppress, keep away, Ανδρας:man
    Hence Αλέξανδρος in greek means the person that defeats the men.

    Philip in greek is Φίλιππος => Φίλος – ίππος => Φίλος: Friend, fan Ίππος: Horse
    Hence Φίλιππος in greek means a fan of horses

    I think we had enough of the scopjans. They need to shut up, they are getting annoying to everyone!
