PLATO WITH AN ENGLISH TRANSLATION LAWS by R.G.Bury VOL.II -LOEB CLASSICAL LIBRARY 192- 1926

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.

<strong>LAWS</strong>, BOOK V<strong>II</strong><br />

the matter in doubt, and refuse to proceed until<br />

he has made sure <strong>by</strong> investigation of the direction<br />

of his f)ath. We must now do likewise. In our<br />

discourse about laws, the point which has now<br />

occurred to us being strange, we are bound to<br />

investigate it closely ; and in a matter so weighty<br />

we, at our age, must not lightly assume or assert<br />

that we can make any reliable statement about it on<br />

the spur of the moment.<br />

CLIN. That is very true.<br />

ATH. We shall, therefore, devote some time to<br />

this subject, and only when we have investigated it<br />

thoroughly shall we regard our conclusions as certain.<br />

But lest we be uselessly hindered from completing<br />

the ordinance which accompanies the laws with<br />

which we are now concerned, let us proceed to<br />

their conclusion. For very probably (if Heaven so<br />

will) this exposition, when completely brought to<br />

its conclusion, may also clear up the problem now<br />

before us.<br />

say.<br />

CLIN. Well said, Stranger : let us do just as vou<br />

ATH. Let the strange fact be granted, we say,<br />

that our hymns are now made into " nomes<br />

(laws),^ just as the men of old, it would seem, gave<br />

this name to harp-tunes,—so that they, too, perhaps,<br />

would not wholly disagree with our present suggestion,<br />

but one of them may have divined it<br />

vaguely, as in a dream <strong>by</strong> night or a waking vision<br />

anyhow, let this be the decree on the matter:<br />

In violation of public tunes and sacred songs and<br />

the whole choristry of the young, just as in \iolation<br />
