THE EARLY AGE OF GREECE VOL.I by W.Ridgeway 1901

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, ΑΓΟΡΑ,ΕΚΚΛΗΣΙΑ,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.”

the labours of Heracles are recounted, speaking of the capture<br />

of the same famous deer, calls it "the golden-horned dapplebacked<br />

But it was not merely the great literary artists who made<br />

this supposed blunder in zoology. Their brethren of the plastic<br />

and glyptic arts share iti their crime.<br />

Who is not familiar with the famous statue long known as<br />

Diane a la Biche, or Diana of Versailles, now one of the glories<br />

of the Louvre ? Artemis is here represented accompanied <strong>by</strong> a<br />

hind which is adorned with horns like a stag.<br />

The same theme of Artemis with a horned deer is to be<br />

seen on at least two gems<br />

in the British Museum : one of these<br />

is of undoubted antiquity, while the othei', which represents<br />

Artemis much as she is seen in the Louvre statue, was held to<br />
