абе за тоа дека македонија не е грчка и македонците не се грци има безброј докази, еве јас си најдов збирка од извадоци:
5th century BC, Thrasymachus, On Behalf of the Lariasaeans
Quote:
"Shell we being Greeks, be slaves to Archelaus (note: a Macedonian king), a barbarian?"
5th century BC, Herodotus, Histories (8-142)
Quote:
"Do not let Alexander's smooth-sounding version of Mardonius' proposals seduce you; he does only what one might expect of him--a despot himself, of course he collaborates with a despot. But such conduct is not for you - at least, not if you are wise; for surely you know that in foreigners there is neither truth nor trust."
5th century BC, Thucydides, Peloponnesian War (4-124)
Quote:
Perdiccas' army consisted of the forces of his Macedonian subjects together with a force of hoplites from the Hellenes living in Macedonia........
4th century BC, Isocrates, Letters to Phillip (106-8)
Quote:
..........entirely aloof from Hellenic territory.....the throne of Macedon.......
4th century BC, Isocrates, Letters to Phillip (154)
Quote:
I assert that it is incumbent upon you to work for the good of the Hellenes, to reign as king over the Macedonians, and to extend your power over the greatest possible number of the barbarians.
4th century BC, Demosthenes, Phillipics (3-31)
Quote:
......Philip......is not only no Hellene, nor related to the Hellenes, but not even a barbarian from any place that can be named with honor, but a pestilent knave from Macedonia.......
1st century AD, Quintus Curtius Rufus, Alexander (8, 5, 5-7)
Quote:
To feed this desire of his there was no lack of pernicious flattery – ever the curse of royalty, whose power is more often subverted by adulation than by an enemy. Nor were the Macedonians to blame for this, for none of them could bear the slightest deviation from tradition; rather it was the Greeks, whose corrupt ways had also debased the profession of the liberal arts.
1st-2nd century AD, Plutarch, Flaminius
Quote:
.........the Romans came not to fight against the Greeks, but for the Greeks, against the Macedonians......having vanquished king Philip and the Macedonians, restored the Corinthians, Locrians, Phocians, Eubœans, Achæans of Phthiotis, Magnetians, Thessalians, and Perrhæbians to their own lands, laws, and liberties; remitting all impositions upon them, and withdrawing all garrisons from their cities........all were only eager to leap up and salute and address their thanks to the deliverer and champion of Greece.
1st-2nd century AD, Plutarch, Alexander (51)
Quote:
Then Alexander, turning to Xenodochus of Cardia and Artemus of Colophon, said: "Do not the Greeks appear to you to walk about among Macedonians like demi-gods among wild beasts?"
2nd century AD, Arrian, Alexander (Book 2)
Quote:
The fight was further embittered by the old racial rivalry of Greek and Macedonian.
2nd century AD, Marcus Justinus, Epitome of Phillip (8,1-4)
Quote:
The states of Greece, while each sought to gain the sovereignty of the country for itself, lost it as a body...........for Philip, king of Macedonia....obliged victors and vanquished alike to submit to his royal yoke.........It was a shameful and miserable sight, to behold Greece.....a country that had constantly been the conqueror of kings and nations, and was still mistress of many cities, waiting at a foreign court to ask or deprecate war…….
2nd century AD, Marcus Justinus, Epitome of Phillip (30,3)
Quote:
Philip....allowed that “he might be induced to submit to the Romans, but that it was intolerable that the Greeks, who had been subdued by his ancestors Philip and Alexander, and brought under the yoke of the Macedonian empire, should dictate articles of peace to him, as if they were conquerors; and that they ought to give an account of their conduct in their state of slavery, before they sought to recover their liberty.”
2nd century AD, Pausanias, Description of Greece (2.8.4)
Quote:
........all the Greeks were afraid of the Macedonians and of Antigonus, the guardian of Philip, the son of Demetrius........
2nd century AD, Pausanias, Description of Greece (7.7.5)
Quote:
When Philip, the son of Demetrius, reached man's estate, and Antigonus without reluctance handed over the sovereignty of the Macedonians, he struck fear into the hearts of all the Greeks. He copied Philip, the son of Amyntas.........
2nd century AD, Pausanias, Description of Greece (7.15.6)
Quote:
.........the Greeks who were struggling at Chaeroneia against the Macedonians under Philip.........
2nd century AD, Pausanias, Description of Greece (9.6.5)
