Were Ancient Macedonians and Epirotans really Greek?

[Laberia]

When you speak Greek, you participate in the Olympic games, you consider yourself Greek, you fight for Greece, etc, then , what else you could be ?

And when you invade, burn, destroy, enslave Greece and you are killed for this reason by Greeks, what else could be?
And excuse me, who fought for Greece?

Albanian, isnt it obvious?

I have no doubt that you are a retard.

Yeah, right , I forgot.
The world is conspiring against them. The whole scientific community is planning evidence against them, I'm pretty sure that Pella Katadesmos, f.e. was planted by Great Powers, and we secretly bribed archeologists to say it is and old text.

I think maybe Phillelines, build around 200 years Acropolis, it isn't that old ~ you know. Maybe those phillelines used those billions of Albos in Greece (and galaxy) to built it, and Greeks took the credit .

Even some Illyrians partecipated. This don't make them Greeks. We have to ask the opinion of the ancient greeks about this question. Both, Macedonians and Epirotes were considered by ancient Greeks, barbarians.
Who was a barbarian back in antiquity?
From Oxford English Dictionary:
2. Hist. a. One not a Greek

The problem is that the neogreeks, who have nothing in common with ancient greeks apart the fact that they live in the same territory but they are a mix of many populations with zero ancient greek blood in their veins claim that all this populations are greek. It's part of their chauvunist ideology called Megaliidea, the Great Idea. Of course, they have also the support of their masters.
During the middle ages with the names Macedonians and Epirotes were called the Albanians. For example in the Kingdom of Napoli there was an regiment, exclusively composed from Albanians, called Macedonian Regiment. There are many examples.
The truth? When the neogreeks will stop with their chauvinistic ideology and their claims for the land of other nations, we will learn what's the truth.

Those "neogreeks" are genetically the closest to the ancient Greeks and other Southern Europeans. Lol, again, why do you have an ancient Greek general in your avatar? You seem to keep dodging this question. No, Illyirans or any other non-Greek peoples wouldn't been allowed to participate the games.

There is some disagreement among both ancient authors and modern scholars about the ethnic identity of the ancient Macedonians. Ernst Badian notes that nearly all surviving references to antagonisms and differences between Greeks and Macedonians exist in the written speeches of Arrian, who lived at the time of the Roman Empire, when any notion of an ethnic disparity between Macedonians and other Greeks was incomprehensible.[305] Hatzopoulos argues that there was no real ethnic difference between Macedonians and Greeks, only a political distinction contrived after the creation of the League of Corinth in 337 BC (which was led by Macedonia through the league's elected hegemon Philip II, when he was not a member of the league itself).[note 44] Other academics who concur that the difference between the Macedonians and Greeks was a political rather than a true ethnic discrepancy include Michael B. Sakellariou,[306] Malcolm Errington,[note 45] and Craige B. Champion.[note 46]

Lol, and Albos like yourself don't have any chauvinistic ideologies against their neighbors too? Albanians entered history in the 12th century AD, and the Albanians never existed as a people back in ancient times either.

You know what? I would like to see how this people who call themselves greeks can make a normal discussion about history. Every thread in this forum is always destroyed because there are retards like you. You have to consider a honor the possibility given to you to participate in a European forum. So, shut the fuck up and go back in the desert inside your tent.

a Roman?

Greek was de jure official language of Roman Empire.

Constantine the Great has learned Greek, but he wasn't Greek by any means.

Even today you have many people in Lebanon who speak Greek.

Greek was more popular than English nowdays.
