Xerokefalos!
What is it you fail to grasp about the predominance of archaic Greek DNA markers in the general population of the Mediterranean today (Sicily to Spain) ... and the special prevalence between Greeks and Cypriots?
Oracle, I’m a man of facts & figures which is why I never read novels or watch movies, so what archaic Greek DNA markers and green horses are you talking about gori? Have you any idea how many times the Slavic people had overrun the ancient Greeks?
When did the Slavs arrive in the Balkans?
That’s no different to asking when the Greeks arrived on the Balkans because ancient Greece was populated from the top down!
Idiot. Alexander the Great, lived fully 1000 years before the Slavs arrived in the Balkans.
Is that according to Greek mythology sites?
"Historically they are also known as Enetoi and have inhabited the entire region of Balkans, north of Greece, Northern Itally, Hungary, Romania, Austria, Bavaria, Northern Switzerland, Czech and Slovak Repulics Poland and central Germany all the way to today's Hamburg. The Slavs have inhabited this region since about 1500 B.C., and inhabit about 75 percent of that region to this day."

Why dont you read an Encyclopedia?
Encyclopaedia Britannica 2007 edition
The people
Ethnicity and languageMacedonia has inherited a complex ethnic structure. The largest group, calling themselves Macedonians (about two-thirds of the population), are descendants of Slavic tribes that moved into the region between the 6th and 8th centuries AD. Their language is very closely related to Bulgarian and is written in the Cyrillic script.
In language, religion, and history, a case could be made for identifying Macedonian Slavs with Bulgarians and to a lesser extent with Serbs. Both have had their periods of influence in the region (especially Serbia after 1918); consequently, there are still communities of Serbs (especially in Kumanovo and Skopje) and Bulgarians.The people who form the majority of the inhabitants of the contemporary Macedonian republic are clearly not Greeks but Slavs. However, this ecclesiastical tradition, taken together with the long period during which the region was associated with the Greek-speaking Byzantine state, and above all the brief ascendancy of the Macedonian empire (c. 359–321 BC) continue to provide Greeks with a sense that Macedonia is Greek.
So did the Austrian Herr Heitler take the German armies, and the Corsican the French armies all across Europe and deep into Asia. So what it proves nothing.
Take it up with the Encyclopedias in question. Right them an email or start a letter campaign. What do you want me to say? I can post from other Encyclopedias as well that offer ruffly the same info.
