What are you talking about, a couple of centuries later Greece was conquered by Rome; how is that Greece growing stronger over the centuries? Even the Romans knew Alexander was Greek! Alexander stated himself that he was Greek! Again I ask you, if the Macedonians were different, why didn't Alexander spread Macedonian culture and language rather than Greek? Why is this period known as Hellenistic?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hellenistic_civilization

Alexander was born in a kingdom that had no relation to Greece until later when he himself united them. In other words, when he was born his birth occurred on non-Greek territory.

Anyway, the constant resizing of kingdoms and shifting of borders made it convenient much later for some to make certain historical claims and/or chide others.


Get Real! - I am asking this out of sheer curiosity, no disrespect: On the average, it seems that you have written 17 posts on ths forum for every single day of your life since you joined roughly two years ago. Are you unemployed? Do you get paid to write here? What is the story?


I think you have a very good point here about GR and I would add the so called friends of GR who write non stop all day on this forum , mostly repetitive vulgar garbage.

Either they are paid, unemployed or retired.

In English slang, to plonk' means 'to shell' (military). So the Plonker GR is merely 'shelling' us with his Chiroikhitian humour. :lol:

Thanks for the explanation. You learn something everyday. So in reality either GR does not have a job or is a professional "plonker" or a chiroikhitan forum poster.
