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.

off the palm of victory. Must we not reject ^ such a<br />
custom as this ? For if it is ever really necessary that<br />
the citizens should listen to such doleful strains,<br />
it would be more fitting that the choirs that attend<br />
should be hired from abroad, and that not on holy<br />
days but only on fast- days —^just as a corpse is escorted<br />
with Carian music <strong>by</strong> hired mourners. Such music<br />
would also form the fitting accompaniment for<br />
hymns of this kind ; and the garb befitting these<br />
funeral hymns would not be any crowns nor gilded<br />
ornaments, but just the opposite,—for I<br />
want to get<br />
done with this subject as soon as I can. Only I<br />
would have us ask ourselves again ^ this single<br />
question,—are we satisfied to lay this down as our<br />
first typical rule for hymns r<br />
CLix. What rule ?<br />
ATH. That of auspicious speech ; and must we<br />
have a kind of hymn that is altogether in all respects<br />
auspicious ? Or shall I ordain that it shall be so,<br />
without further questioning ?<br />
CLIN. By all means ordain it so ; for that is a law<br />
carried <strong>by</strong> a unanimous vote.<br />
v<br />
ATH. What then, next to auspicious speech,<br />
should be the second law of music ? Is it not that<br />
prayers should be made on each occasion to those<br />
gods to whom offering is made ?<br />
CLIN.<br />
Certainly.<br />
ATH. The third law, I suppose, will be this,<br />
that the poets, knowing that prayers are requests<br />
addressed to gods, must take the utmost care lest<br />
^ Music should be used as an ennobling educational<br />
instrument, promoting self-control, not as a means of<br />
exciting A-ulgar sentiment and passion.<br />
