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.”

38 QUINTI CURTII<br />

Praeceps <strong>in</strong> salum murus pedestre <strong>in</strong>terceperat iter : naves<br />
nee habebat Rex; et, si admovisset, 8 pendentes et <strong>in</strong>stabiles<br />
missilibus arceri poterant. Inter quas parva dictu res Tyriorum<br />
fidueiam accendit. Carthag<strong>in</strong>ensium legati ad celebrandum<br />
anniversarium sacrum more patrio tunc venerant : quippe Cartbag<strong>in</strong>em<br />
Tyrii condiderunt, 9 semper parentum loco culti.<br />
Hortari ergo Poeni coeperunt, ut obsidionem forti animo<br />
paterentur, brevi Carthag<strong>in</strong>e auxilia ventura : namque ea<br />
tempestate, magna ex parte, Punicis classibus maria obsidebantur.<br />
9. Igitur bello decreto, per muros turresque tormenta disponunt<br />
: arma junioribus dividunt, 10 opificesque, quorum copia<br />
urbs abundabat, <strong>in</strong> offic<strong>in</strong>as distribuunt. Omnia belli apparatu<br />
strepunt : ferreae quoque manus u (harpagonas vocant)<br />
quas operibus hostium <strong>in</strong>jicerent, corvique et alia tuendis<br />
urbibus excogitata, praeparabantur. Sed cum fornacibus ferrum,<br />
quod excudi oportebat, impositum esset, admotisque follibus<br />
ignem flatu 12 accenderent, sangu<strong>in</strong>is rivi sub ipsis flammis<br />
extitisse dicuntur ;<br />
13<br />
idque omen <strong>in</strong> Macedonum metum verterunt<br />
Tyrii. Apud Macedonas quoque, 14<br />
cum forte panem<br />
quidam militum frangeret, manantis sangu<strong>in</strong>is guttas notaverunt<br />
; territoque Rege, Aristander peritissimus vatum, " si<br />
extr<strong>in</strong>secus cruor fluxisset, Macedonibus id triste futurum," ait<br />
" contra, cum ab <strong>in</strong>teriore parte manaverit, urbi, quam obsidere<br />
dest<strong>in</strong>assent, exitum portendere." Alexander ciim et classem<br />
procul baberet, et longam obsidionem magno sibi ad csetera<br />
impedimento videret fore, caduceatores, qui ad pacem eos<br />
compellerent, misit : quos Tyrii 15 contra jus gentium occisos<br />
prsecipitaverunt <strong>in</strong> altum. Atque ille suorum tarn <strong>in</strong>digna<br />
nece commotus, urbem obsidere statuit. Sed ante jacienda<br />
moles erat, quae urbem cont<strong>in</strong>enti committeret. Ingens ergo<br />
animos militum desperatio <strong>in</strong>cessit, cernentium profundum<br />
mare, quod vix div<strong>in</strong>a ope posset impleri :<br />
" Quae saxa tarn<br />
vasta, quas tarn proceras arbores posse reperiri ? u exhauriendas<br />
