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.”

enacted), exactly like ancestral customs of great<br />
antiquity, which, if well established and practised,<br />
serve to wrap up securely the laws already written,<br />
whereas if they perversely go aside from the right<br />
way. like builders' props that collapse under the<br />
middle of a house, they bring everything else<br />
tumbling down along with them, one thing buried<br />
under another, first the props themselves and then<br />
the fair superstructure, once the ancient supports<br />
have fallen down. Bearing this in mind, Clinias, we<br />
must clamp together this State of yours, which is a<br />
new one, <strong>by</strong> every possible means, omitting nothing<br />
great or small in the way of laws, customs and<br />
institutions ; for it is <strong>by</strong> all such means that a State<br />
is clamped together, and neither kind of law is<br />
permanent without the other. Consequently, we<br />
need not be surprised if the influx of a number of<br />
apparently trivial customs or usages should make our<br />
laws rather long.<br />
CLIN. What you say is quite true, and we will<br />
bear it in mind.<br />
ATH. If one could carry out these regulations<br />
methodically, and not merely apply them casually, in<br />
the case of girls and boys up to the age of three,<br />
they would conduce greatly to the benefit of our<br />
infant nurslings. To form the character of the child<br />
over three and up to six years old there will be need<br />
of games : <strong>by</strong> then punishment must be used to<br />
prevent their getting pampered.—not, however,<br />
punishment of a degrading kind, but just as we said<br />
before,'^ in the case of slaves, that one should avoid<br />
enraging the persons punished <strong>by</strong> using degrading<br />
punishments, or pampering them <strong>by</strong> leaving them<br />
unpunished, so in the case of the free-bom the<br />
