But no such place as “Greece” or “Hellenism” existed back then, and that’s the very problem with encapsulating everything in one modern country’s favor (Greece) and ignoring its neighbors!

Modern Greece has manufactured all sorts of lies to support a continuity and inheritance of ALL that’s happened in the region, but of course that cannot be just because you put an application in first! :lol:

God my friend, you are such an ignorant.

The expedition of Alexander against Persia was staged to avenge the Persians for their wrong doings against Greece.
The spreading of the Hellenic Civilization by Alexander to the East started the internationally known "Hellenistic Era"

Jesus. What school did you go to?

"Alexander also started preparing an expedition allegedly to avenge the greviances Greece suffered during the Persian Wars".

http://www.sjsu.edu/faculty/watkins/alexandergreat.htm


'Why do we not avenge Greece, then and put the city to the torch? ... the end of the palace that had ruled all the East'" (History of Alexander the Great, V.7.3-8). ...
http://penelope.uchicago.edu/~grout/enc ... thais.html

"Alexander's legacy includes the cultural diffusion his conquests engendered. Alexander founded some twenty cities that bore his name. His settlement of Greek colonists and the resulting spread of Greek culture in the east resulted in a new Hellenistic civilization"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_the_Great
i.e., the Hellenic Civilization, as established in the the East, is named Hellenistic, i.e., the one deriving from the Hellenic.

Alexander did all that for the love of a country that was to be created 2,000 years later?

Wow! He could read the future! 8)

It wasn’t a Greek gymnasium that’s for sure! :lol:

Thanks for posting this - I was fortunate enough to visit this exhibition, a few months ago, and it was mind blowing :)

Well done to the organisers.

Kissinger about the “Macedonian Issue”

“Look, I believe that Greece is right to object and I agree with Athens. The reason is that I know History, which is not the case with most of the others including most of the Government and Administration in Washington.

The strength of the Greek case is that of the History which I must say that Athens have not used so far with success.”
