THE DISTORTIONS OF THE MODERN GREEK AND WESTERN AUTHORS
It is indeed shocking to see that despite the overwhelming ancient and modern evidence that clearly separates the Macedonians from the Greeks as two different peoples, there are still some authors to nonetheless portray them as "Greek". We have therefore reserved this section for criticism of the works of these modern Greek and western writers:
What can we conclude from the above analysis? Relying on authentic ancient and modern evidence we found clear mistakes and even distortions made by the modern authors Sakellariou, Martis, Daskalakis, Hammond, Errington, and Wood, who should indeed be ashamed of falsely portraying the history of Macedonia and ascribing incorrect (Greek) ethnic identity to the ancient Macedonians. Alexander the Great would have turned in his grave if he only knew that he is being portrayed as Greek today by some unqualified historians and the descendents of the very ancient Greeks whom he slaughtered at Chaeronea and Thebes, and who were one of the greatest obstacle he had to face
while conquering Persia. However, this ‘Greek’ position is nowadays regarded as outdated and finally thrown out from the history, pawing the road for the modern literature where the Macedonians are rightfully presented as distinct nation (Borza, Badian, Green, Bosworth, Hogarth, Jouguet), just like in the ancient writings.Copyright © 1996-2000
