"THE MONARCHS OF MACEDONIA:
Macedonia (or Macedon) was an ancient, somewhat backward kingdom in northern Greece. Its emergence as a hellenic power was due to a resourceful king, Philip II (359-336), whose career has been unjustly overshadowed by the deeds of his son, Alexander the Great". ("The Western Experience" (Alfred A. Knopf, New York, 2nd edition , 1997)

REPLY:

This is another example of a typical western source, (just like Erringon above) which is ignorant to the ancient testimony, and makes Macedonia part of Greece, despite the overwhelming ancient evidence that clearly shows that the Macedonians were not ancient Greeks. Notice that this book does not specializes in Macedonian studies alone. Fact is that they were also ignorant to all of the modern sources as well, that specialize in the ethnicity of the Macedonians that clearly proved that the Macedonians were not Greek. It is good however, that the numbers of such inaccurate books is low. To see the complete evidence on the ethnicity of the ancient Macedonians please click here.
