    Because greek was the only written language. The other languages of antiquity, like Illyrian, Thracian Macedonian, etc were not. This people were barbarians, not greeks.
    Alexander The Great was from mother side Epirot, i.e. Albanian. From father side he has the grandmother Illyrian, again Albanian and grandfather Macedonian. What he was? He was Macedonian, of course not an slav. Who were the Macedonians? When the neogreeks together with their masters, decide to allow science to investigate this issue, we will learn who really were the ancient Macedonians.

    Alexander was not Slav for sure. He might have been Illyrian or/and Macedonian which is likely. For sure he wan't Greek. Whatever he was he belongs to the History of Macedonia not the History of Greece.

    I think English is linqua fraca for a long time. What language is spoken in North America, Australia, New Zealand, India....South Africa ...UK? Hellenic was lingua franca then, English is now. Hellenic was the only written language so what else one can expect to happen.

    You can't spread a language across vast distances just because it's written. You have to know it, speak it, breathe it, and live it inside and out. The Macedonians did that with ancient Greek, and centuries later the British Empire did it with modern English.

    In Russian Royal family and aristocracy French was spoken (read Tolstoy) Russian was considered as a language of lower class.
    Anyhow do not live in the past. The past is already dead and the predictions for the future may never come.
    Live the life TODAY. Only TODAY matters. Shiny day today in Canada, enjoy it.

    His bloodline is from Argos in Peloponnesos.

    You said Alexander wasn't Greek - I can spam you with every renowned scholarly source under the sun Alexanders bloodline came from Argos in Peloponessos.

    Regarding the above Royals -- how can you be sure they have no Greek in them even if they are 1% Greek and claim partly Greek decent that is their business.

    Byzantines spawned German and Russian royals so how can you be 100% sure?

    [31] But if some slave or superstitious bastard had wasted and squandered what he had no right to, heavens! how much more monstrous and exasperating all would have called it! Yet they have no such qualms about Philip and his present conduct, though he is not only no Greek, nor related to the Greeks, but not even a barbarian from any place that can be named with honor, but a pestilent knave from Macedonia, whence it was never yet possible to buy a decent slave.
