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.

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)

Illyrios vero et Thracas, rapto vivere assuetos, aciem hostium,<br />

Quippe<br />

Darius equestri praslio decernere optabat, phalangem Macedonici<br />

exercitus robur esse conjectans. Jamque etiam dextrum<br />

Alexandri cornu circumibatur : quod ubi Macedo conspexit,<br />

duabus alis equitum ad jugum montis jussis subsistere, caeteros<br />

<strong>in</strong> medium belli discrimen strenue transfert. Subductis<br />

de<strong>in</strong>de ex a'cie Thessalis equitibus. Prsefectum eorum 4 occulte<br />

circumire tergum suorum jubet, Parmenionique conjungi,<br />

et quod is imperasset, impigre exequi. Jamque ipsi <strong>in</strong> medium<br />

Persarum undique circumfusi egregie se tuebantur :<br />

sed<br />

et vano ictu pauca <strong>in</strong> hostem, plura <strong>in</strong> humum <strong>in</strong>noxia<br />
