Old Macedon was Not Greek

[Böri]

Many people seem to believe in the Greek Athenian state's propaganda. The mistake needs to be fixed.

Persian Achaemenids used Semitic Aramean as their official state language, and Persian alphabet also developed on a Semitic base as a result. Yet nobody would deny the Iranianess of Achaemenid empire.

However, people fail to recognize same for Old Macedon. They used Greek as official language because they invaded most of Greek city states before turning east. Just that.
Macedonians were considered alien barbarians in by their contemporary Greeks. That's recorded, even modern Greek historians recognize this aspect.

Spartans, Cretans, Epirus never joined Filip and his son Alexander the Great even after Alexander's success.

Modern Greeks try to steal Macedon success for themselves.

Hellenes simply assimilated the Macedon's gains later, just as they stole Eastern Roman empire (originally a Latin state) and Hellenicized it during late 6th and early 7th centuries AD. Earlier, the Hellenicization of the Pontus (Iranian state) was another example of Greek growth through assimilation.

Old Greeks considered themselves descending from their legendary ancestor Hellas. Macedons weren't considered part of the family.
The state organization is another important point. Back then, Greek states were all democracies and aristocracies while Macedon was a kingdom based on a decentralized feudal lordship system.

Incorrect. The Macedonian dynasty was descended from the Dorians in Greek mythology.

Sparta was a monarchy, just like Macedon.

Sparta had dual kingship system, diarchy. The rulers had priesthood status. There were sorts of oligarchs too. Different than the feudal kingdom of Macedonians. Dorian thing can be discussed. It’s not known how much original Macedonian language was related to Greek, not determined yet...

[Babak]

But wasnt alexander from Macedon and identified as a greek?

[Astarte]

Ancient Macedonians were a Greek tribe. Böri is nothing but a retarded troll.

According to a recent study of DNA from ancient Mycenaeans and Minoans, scientists have discovered that most of the genetic code is similar to that of modern Greeks. The findings were published in Nature: the International Journal of Science, and reported in Science magazine. Since Homer wrote his epic poems The Iliad and The Odyssey, Greeks have considered the Mycenaeans their ancestors.

Only issue is, ancient Macedonians were not Mycenaeans....

The language of ancient Macedonian isn't known as no text has been found. It could maybe be a whole different language than Greek.
