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

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.”

Let us now return to Aepytus and his tomb. There is little<br />

reason to doubt that the offerings<br />

at the grave of such a hero<br />

would be kept up with great care even under ordinary circumstances.<br />

The evidence of the pottery in the dromos at Menidi,<br />

as well as that of Pausanias respecting the tomb of Phocus,<br />

puts this beyond cavil. But when we realize how indissolubly<br />

Aepytus was linked to the chief piiestly and mantic family not<br />

merely of Arcadia but of all Peloponnesus, it is hardly conceivable<br />

that at any period from the time when the Catalogue<br />

of Ships was composed down to the Christian era there would<br />

have been any break in the corftinuity of worship at the tomb<br />

of Aepytus and conse(|uently any breach in the tradition<br />

respecting its occupant.<br />

Now let us revert for a moment to the pedigree; nf Aepytus.<br />

That hero was grandson of Areas the son of Callisto daughter<br />

of Lycaon. Callisto according to the legend was for her evil<br />

behaviour tui-ned into a bear <strong>by</strong> Artemis.<br />
