A thought for my Alexander. Protector of men.Protector of Hellas.

[Lakonian]

Σας ευχομαι τωρα που τελιεωνουν οι πολεμοι να ευτυχησητε εν ειρηνη.
Ολοι οι θνητοι, εφ εξης, να ζησουν ως ενας Λαος δια την κοινην προκοπην.
Να θεωρητε την Οικουμενην πατριδα σας με κοινους νομους , οπου θα Κυβερνουν οι Αριστοι, ανεξαρτητως φυλης.

Δεν χωριζω τους ανθροπους , οπως πρατουν οι απερισκεπτοι, εις Ελληνας και
βαρβαρους.
Δεν μ ενδιαφεριε η καταγωγη ουτε η φυλη ουδενος.
Τους καταμεριζω με ενα και μονον κριτηριον.Την Αρετην.Δι εμε, καθε καλος ξενος ειναι Ελλην και καθε κακος Ελλην ειναι χειροτερος απο βαρβαρον.
Εαν ποτε σας δημιουργηθουν διαφοραι, δεν θα σταθω διαιτητης σας.
Τους Θεους δεν πρεπει να τους θεωρητε ως αυταρχικους κυβερνους , αλλα ως κοινον πατερα και μανα ολων μας, ουτως ωστε η διαγωγη σας να ομοιαζη με ζωην, που κανουν τα αδελφια εις την οικογενειαν.

Απο μερους μου θεωρω ολους ισους, λευκους και μελαψους και θελω να μην εισθεμονον υπηκοοι της Κοινοπολιτεας μου, αλλα μετοχοι.
Ολοι συνεταιροι και καθ οσον θα εξαρταται απο Εμε, θα προσπαθω να συντελουνται αυτα, τα οποια υποσχομαι. Τον σπονδην ταυτην και κρατηστε τον, ως συμβολον Αγαπης.

Very big words, from a very big man.

A very big oath, from the son of Zeus, whos words have surpassed those of any God.

Words of Love and Freedom spoken to those Greeks, words that were 357 years before the words of the son of a God from a foriegn land.

Words that preached of no racism, and love for all races.

Words that were spoken from a brave warrior, and also a philosopher.

Alexander forgive us. We have led this tiny land that you made a Titan amongst Giants to extiction of any Virtue.

And now as you see these men and women here in this forum, and those of political leadership, and of those who wait to bleed for your holy land, give us strength.
Give us the courage that you gave our men, that made all love you as there own, and who today who some claim you as there own.

Forgive them, for we cannot not. We will fight for you always Alexander, you who put Hellas above him, so we may then say we fight for Hellas!!

Watch over us.

I dedicate this to you guys who i have read some great posts, and have educated me on topics of Macedonia.

Thank you.

Lakonian,

Ever thought about going into politics? If you can speak as well as you write you will be able to gather a lot of people to your cause.

Politics in Greece my friend is like a pile of dirty clothes, it juts never gets done. But i guess its like that all over the world.

We are in such debt to our ancestors its not funny. How is there to ever be another Alexander, another Pericles, another Lycurgus. Or Socrates or Plato. It almost kills me the level that Hellas had achieved. It was simply unique, and it affected the whole world...till today.

And will continue to do so.

The pic is completely false... I understand it's trying to help the panhellenic feeling, but half of the emblems on the shields are spartan...:p

You like the letters in the background on the shields? Λ and Ω ? What language do you think they are?

ancient Greek will be my first preference,however Greek were fighting for the macedonians so that explains why there are ancient Greeks beside alexsander,

so the background is full with masos and greeks.

i love this picture, i shown it to every friend that comes to my house.

"masos and greeks" - ugh masolord, how incongruous.

I think Alexander's nose is too small, for my part. *hehe* :banana:

Politics in Greece is very similar with the politic in the Middle East area.

[Alita]

With one major difference, the Palestinians know who they are and don't insist on being called 'Israel'.

[Paulos Melas]

Alexander unified all the seven primordial Greek tribes:
Macedonians, Ionians, Dorians, Acheans, Aeolians, Magnetians, and Graecians.
Before him we were a divided nation.
After him one people.
