Read real history and decide.


Strabo
Geography
p321 Book VII, Fragments472

http://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/...ragments*.html


Macedonia, of course, is a part of Greece, yet now, since I am following the nature and shape of the places geographically, I have decided to classify it apart from the rest of Greece and to join it with that part of Thrace which borders on it and extends as far as the mouth of the Euxine and the Propontis. Then, p329a little further on, Strabo mentions Cypsela and the Hebrus River, and also describes a sort of parallelogram in which the whole of Macedonia lies.

A simple answer would be enough - was Alexander's kingdom named Macedonia or Greece? Just one word, please!

But do you understand what "Hellenic tribes" means ? it's important that you do first, because no one in their right mind would question the two.

Same as asking, FYROM or Bulgaria ? = Same..

Here is my proof.
http://illyria.proboards19.com/index...ead=1192945034

Invitation from the central Bulgarian revolutionary commitee BMPO to all Bulgars in Skopje....
Translation:"YOU, Bulgarian, in the name of the patriotism, freedom and saving your life, pay to the bearer of this invitation the sum of ... "

See Bulgarian "SVOBODA"

OK, let's simplify - I don't understand what Hellenic tribes means. Now, can you answer my question without a question? Macedonian or Greek kingdom?

OK, let's simplify - I don't really understand what Hellenic tribes means, allthough I would like to know something more.

Now, can I get an actual answer in the form different then question? Macedonian or Greek kingdom?

Well, you aren't either. Still no answer - Alexander's kingdom was named Macedonia or Greece? Why is it so complicated to answer a simple question?
