    LOL Alexander "the great" was the 3rd, not the 2nd. Alexander the II was his uncle once removed. You have no clue, do you?

    Alexander I the phihellene (Alexander III the greats paternal G.G.G.Grandfather) proved his Greek bloodline in order to compete in the Olympics.

    Here is the family tree



    EDIT

    Alexander I claimed descent from Argive Greeks and Heracles. After a court of Elean hellanodikai determined his claim to be true, he was permitted to participate in the Olympic Games possibly in 504 BC, an honour reserved only for Greeks. He modelled his court after Athens and was a patron of the poets Pindar and Bacchylides, both of whom dedicated poems to Alexander. The earliest reference to an Athenian proxenos, who lived during the time of the Persian wars (c. 490 BC), is that of Alexander I.

    Alexander I was given the title "philhellene" (Greek: "φιλέλλην", fond of the Greeks, lover of the Greeks), a title used for Greek patriots

    Doesn't which one was it, the fact remains. The ancient historians refered to him as the Alexander King of Macedon.

    Also the Greeks considered Macedonians as Barbarians

    You NEW Macedonians are so hilarious. Let me guess, if you live in New York, you're from York in England? The Makedonians were as Greek as the Spartans. using your logic, if they are Spartans, they are not Greek, they are Spartans.

    This is all I have to say now:

    The modern day Macedonians doesn't have direct ancestry from the ancient ones. BUT they are not pure Slavs, they have a strong Paleobalkanic input on their matches.
