LIFE AND EXPLOITS OF ALEXANDER THE GREAT by WM.HENRY CROSBY,Professor in RUTGERS COLLEGE BRUNSWICK 1854
MACEDONIA is GREECE and will always be GREECE- (if they are desperate to steal a name, Monkeydonkeys suits them just fine) ΚΑΤΩ Η ΣΥΓΚΥΒΕΡΝΗΣΗ ΤΩΝ ΠΡΟΔΟΤΩΝ!!! Strabo – “Geography” “There remain of Europe, first, Macedonia and the parts of Thrace that are contiguous to it and extend as far as Byzantium; secondly, Greece; and thirdly, the islands that are close by. Macedonia, of course, is a part of Greece, yet now, since I am following the nature and shape of the places geographically, I have decided to classify it apart from the rest of Greece and to join it with that part of Thrace which borders on it and extends as far as the mouth of the Euxine and the Propontis. Then, a little further on, Strabo mentions Cypsela and the Hebrus River, and also describes a sort of parallelogram in which the whole of Macedonia lies.” (Strab. 7.fragments.9) ΚΚΕ, ΚΝΕ, ΟΝΝΕΔ, ΚΙΝΑΛ,ΝΕΑ,ΦΩΝΗ,ΦΕΚ,ΝΟΜΟΣ,LIFO,MACEDONIA, ALEXANDER, GREECE,IKEA

Strabo – “Geography”
“There remain of Europe, first, Macedonia and the parts of Thrace that are contiguous to it and extend as far as Byzantium; secondly, Greece; and thirdly, the islands that are close by. Macedonia, of course, is a part of Greece, yet now, since I am following the nature and shape of the places geographically, I have decided to classify it apart from the rest of Greece and to join it with that part of Thrace which borders on it and extends as far as the mouth of the Euxine and the Propontis. Then, a little further on, Strabo mentions Cypsela and the Hebrus River, and also describes a sort of parallelogram in which the whole of Macedonia lies.”

Alexander fauces jugi, quae 14 Pylce appellantur, <strong>in</strong>travit.<br />
Contemplatus locorum situ<strong>in</strong>, 18 non alias magis dicitur<br />
admiratus esse felicitatem suam : obrui potnisse vel saxis<br />
confitebatur, si fuissent qui <strong>in</strong> subeuntes propellerent. Iter<br />
vix 16 quaternos capiebat armatos. Dorsum montis imm<strong>in</strong>ebat<br />
viae, non angustae modo, sed plerumque praeruptae, crebris oberrantibus<br />
rivis, qui ex radicibus montium nianant. Thracas<br />
tamen leviter armatos praecedere jusserat, scrutarique<br />
calles,<br />
ne occultus bostis <strong>in</strong> subeuntes erumperet. Sagittariorum<br />
quoque manus occupaverat jugum : <strong>in</strong>tentos arcus habebant,<br />
17<br />
moniti, non iter ipsos <strong>in</strong>ire, sed praelium. Hoc modo 18 agmen<br />
pervenit ad urbem Tarson, 19 cui turn maxime Persae<br />
subjiciebant ignem, ne opulentum oppidum hostis <strong>in</strong>vaderet.<br />
At ille,<br />
Parmenione ad <strong>in</strong>hibendum <strong>in</strong>cendium cum expedita<br />
manu praamisso, postquam barbaros adventu suorum fugatos<br />
esse cognoverat, urbem a se conservatam <strong>in</strong>trat.<br />
V. 11. ^ediam Cydnus amnis, de quo paulo ante dictum<br />
est, <strong>in</strong>terfluit ; et tunc aestas erat, cujus calor non aliam magis<br />
quam Ciliciae oram vapore solis accendit ; et diei fervidissimum<br />
tempus coeperat. Pulvere ac sudore simul perfusum<br />
Regem <strong>in</strong>vitavit liquor flum<strong>in</strong>is, ut calidum adhuc corpus<br />
ablueret. Itaque veste deposita, <strong>in</strong> conspectu agm<strong>in</strong>is (decorum<br />
quoque futurum ratus, si ostendisset suis, levi ac<br />
parabili 2 cultu corporis se esse contentum) descendit <strong>in</strong> flumen,<br />
vixque 3 <strong>in</strong>gressi subito horrore artus rigere coeperunt : pallor<br />
de<strong>in</strong>de suffusus est, et<br />
totum propemodum corpus vitalis calor<br />
reliquit. Expiranti similem, m<strong>in</strong>istri manu excipiunt, nee<br />
satis compotem mentis <strong>in</strong> tabernaculum deferunt. Ingens<br />
sollicitudo, et pene" jam luctus <strong>in</strong> castris erat. Flentes querebantur,<br />
4a <strong>in</strong> tanto impetu cursuque rerum, omnis aetatis ac<br />
memoriae clarissimum Regem non <strong>in</strong> acie saltern, non ab boste<br />
dejectum, sed abluentem aqua corpus, ereptum esse, et ext<strong>in</strong>ctum<br />
