    When I was little my hero was Donald Duck. How can Disney claim copyright on my hero since childhood at the very least.

    They should stop their rascist slander against West Anatolian Greeks calling them Non Greek Armenians e.c.t

    West Anatolian Greeks were much more significant to Hellenism than Albania and are superior in Intelligence and culture to
    Albanians

    End
    Hahahaha Hellenic history.

    So many different populations contributed to Alexanders empire and your telling me its Hellenic history in the end

    We have had Alexander as hero since atleast Skanderbegs time, back then we had no quarrels with Greeks in the first place. Its obvious our ancestors were part of this characters army and marched all the way to India. This is also what Skanderbeg says.

I guess it must of been a pathetic attempt. There are a lot of historical figures we have in our folklore which is a sign that these characters had an impact on us. For example we Albanians also have poems of Milos Obilic in our folklore , some knight that sacrificed himself in the Battle of Kosovo 1389.
    The fact that they had an impact to you, doesn't mean that they are Albanian. Alexander the Great had an impact everywhere he step foot on, as well as some many other historical figures from antiquity since modern times.
    Pathetic impact is '' he might have ancestry of his mother's father blablabla'' so therefore he is Albanian, that's pathetic.
    Pathetic is also ''we have him on our currency, so he is ours''
    Pathetic is also trying to discredit everything Greek on them, so you can ''fight'' who will take it then. All these years here, and this is all I read about. Discrediting everything Greek, and the worst of that, there is no proof.

    Yes it is
    Alexander's empires culture was Hellenic/Hellenistic and the official language was Greek.

    Alexander recieved classical Greek education,he was trained by the philosopher Greek Aristotelis.

    All Greek city states participated in Alexanders conquest except the Spartans becuase they wanted to be the leaders and Alexander
    refused that role to them.


    Alexander came from a royal family of Macedonian Greeks who belonged to the Argead Dynasty which had their origins in
    Argos"Peloponnese"

    Mother of Alexander the Great was Epirote who in ancient accounts they were referred/regarded as barbarians, a well known definition for non Greeks.

    The Epirotes, The 5th-century BC Athenian historian Thucydides describes them as "barbarians" in his History of the Peloponnesian War,[16] as does Strabo in his Geography.
    Modern greeks are stuck up with their history that keep on claiming non Greek elements, even Arvanites are not saved from their nationalistic agendas, just figure.

    She was Greek, her name was Polyxeni (100% Greek etymologically and still used today). There's no getting around this fact.

    1) Athenians also called other Athenians as barbarians. And athenians called non-Athenians as barbarians as well. So according to your logic, neither was Greek.
    2) Mother of Alexander was a Mollosian. Mollosians (and Epirotes in general) were Greek tribes.
