Macedonian Defence Minister: Republic of Ilinden Macedonia - an excellent basis for solution

[MegaArgus1]

Nobody is claiming Alexander was a Slav. That is just ridiculous.

You cannot expect us to ignore the ancient history of our land either....https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heraclea_Lyncestis

Alexander wasn't Slav nor Greek.

[Petros Houhoulis]

Alexander wasn't Slav nor Greek.

Whether you like it or not, he declared himself a Hellene. If you deny him the right to self-identification, then you do not deserve the right of the self-identification either...

[MegaArgus1]

Why is Macedonia not part of Greece?
The same applies to the modern Macedonians today. The ancient Macedonians regarded the ancient Greeks as neighbors, not as kinsmen. The Greeks treated the Macedonians as foreigners ("barbarians") whose native language was Macedonian, not Greek. ... In 1913, modern Greece and her Balkan allies partitioned Macedonia.

Rubbish

Argead Dynasty, ruling house of ancient Macedonia from about 700 to about 311 BC; under their leadership the Macedonian kingdom was created and gradually gained predominance throughout Greece. From about 700 the founder of the dynasty, Perdiccas I, led the people who called themselves Macedonians eastward from their home on the Haliacmon (modern Aliákmon) River. Aegae (Edessa) became the capital, and by the reign of Amyntas I (6th century BC) Macedonian power extended eastward beyond the Axius (Axiós) River to dominate the neighbouring Thracian tribes. Amyntas’ successor, Alexander I (reigned before 492–c. 450), advanced his frontiers eastward to the Strymon (Struma) River. His byname, “the Philhellene,” indicates his efforts to win Greek sympathies. He spread the legend deriving his Argead house from the Temenids of Argos and thus obtained admission to the Olympic Games.

That's not a quote from Alexander the Great, is it?

Can you bring forth a quote from Alexander the Great suggesting that he was not Hellenic?

I do not see any proof that a Greek cannot be a Philhellene. Do you?

It's a non-issue.

It's not.
