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.”

puppi oneratam, ita ut multiim prora em<strong>in</strong>eret, bitum<strong>in</strong>e ac<br />
sulphure illitam remis concitaverunt :<br />
et cum magnam vim<br />
venti vela quoque concepissent, celeriter ad molem successit.<br />
Tunc prora ejus accensa, remiges desiliere <strong>in</strong> scaphas, quae ad<br />
hoc ipsum praeparatae sequebantur. Navis autem, igne concepto,<br />
latius fundere <strong>in</strong>cendium coepit : quod, priusquam posset<br />
occurri, turres, et caetera opera <strong>in</strong> * capite molis posita comprehendit.<br />
At qui desilierant <strong>in</strong> parva navigia, faces, et quidquid<br />
alendo igni aptum erat, <strong>in</strong> eadem opera <strong>in</strong>gerunt. Jamque<br />
non modo Macedonum turres, sed etiam 2 summa tabulata,<br />
conceperant ignem : cum<br />
haurirentur <strong>in</strong>cendio<br />
;<br />
ii, qui <strong>in</strong> turribus erant, partim<br />
partim armis omissis <strong>in</strong> mare semetipsi<br />
immitterent. At Tyrii, qui 3 capere eos, quam <strong>in</strong>terficere<br />
mallent, natantium manus stipitibus saxisque lacerabant, donee<br />
debilitati impune navigiis excipi possent : nee <strong>in</strong>cendio solum<br />
opera consumpta, sed forte eodem die vehementior ventus motum<br />
ex profundo mare illisit <strong>in</strong> molem, crebrisque fluctibus<br />
compages operis verberatse se laxavere, saxaque <strong>in</strong>terfluens<br />
unda medium opus rupit. Prorutis igitur lapidum cumulis,<br />
quibus <strong>in</strong>jecta terra<br />
sust<strong>in</strong>ebatur, praeceps <strong>in</strong> profunchim ruit,<br />
tantaaque molis vix ulla vestigia <strong>in</strong>venit, ab Arabia rediens,<br />

possent. Rex novi operis molem orsus, <strong>in</strong> adversum ventum,<br />
non latere, sed recta fronte, direxit :<br />
sub ipsa latentia tuebatur.<br />

ea castera opera velut<br />
Latitud<strong>in</strong>em quoque aggeri adjecit,<br />
ut turres <strong>in</strong> medio erectae, procul teli jactu abessent.<br />
Totas autem arbores cum <strong>in</strong>gentibus ramis <strong>in</strong> altum jaciebant<br />
de<strong>in</strong>de saxis onerabant. Rursus cumulo eorum alias arbores<br />
<strong>in</strong>jiciebant. Turn humus aggerebatur, 8 superque alia strue<br />

excogitari poterat, segniter exsequebantur.<br />
