Macedonian name change irks Greece - 18 Jan 08
For more than 15 years, Greece has fought a diplomatic battle to prevent its northern neighbour calling itself the Republic of Macedonia.
Although 120 countries recognise the name, Greece believes it implies a terroritorial claim over its own province of Macedonia.
It is now threatening to contest Macedonia's Nato and EU membership.

Royal grave site of the lost ancient kingdom of Pelagonia found in the Republic of Macedonia - Откриена изгубената престолнина Пелагонија
23.09.2008
Latest discoveries by archaeologists have shown a massive royal grave site in a village known as Bonce in Macedonia, one of a kind in the Balkans, which has led them to suggest that the locality may be the long lost kingdom of Pelagonia.
The grave site was discovered by a team led by Professor Viktor Lilcic.
According to the way this was built, the brilliance behind it, and just from the sheer size of the grave site, we believe the king of Pelagonia had been buried here, said Dr. Antonio Jakimovski, coordinator of the Archeological Research.
The grave site is from the 4th century B.C. when the kingdom of the Pelagonians was around. It was suggested the site had been robbed even in Antic times.
This is one of the rarest gravesites not just in the Balkans, but globally that goes back to the 4th century BC, said Jakimovski.
The site is located right underneath the hill of Visoka where it is suggested to be the site of the city of Pelagonia.
Unfortunately, the Government did not allocate funds this year for the Visoka location.
Archeologists have been searching for the city of Pelagonia and the Pelagonian kingdom for more than 150 years.
This find will undoubtedly make funds available for Visoka in 2009.
Just two years ago, near the hill of Visoka were discovered three Macedonian Shields of King Demetrij with the Vergina Sun embedded on them. The shields are currently undergoing restorations.
When completed, the world will see for the first time how did the shields of the Macedonian phalanx look like.
Откриена изгубената престолнина Пелагонија:
Се повеќе се потврдуваат тезите дека кај локалитетот Бонче можно е да се наоѓа четвртата изгубена македонска престолнина, градот Пелагонија. Со најновите годинешни открија, под раководство на професорот Виктор Лилчиќ, целосно е откриена гробницата која е единствена од ваков тип на Балканот.
Грчките археолози не сакаат да соработуваат со македонските колеги на споредувањето на артефактите од гробниците на античките македонски кралеви од Пела и оние, слични на нив, откриени неодамна на локалитетот Бонче во Пелагонија, под планината Селечка. Сличностите меѓу гробниците на двата локалитети упатуваат на идејата дека веројатно во Пелагонија се наоѓа загубената античка македонска престолнина - градот Пелагонија - по кој се трага повеќе од 150 години.

Heraclea in Bitola, Republic of Macedonia
Heraclea Lyncestis, was an ancient Greek city in Macedon, ruled later by the Romans. Its ruins are situated 2 km south of the present-day town of Bitola, North Macedonia. It was founded by Philip II of Macedon in the middle of the 4th century BC. The city was named in honor of the mythological hero Heracles. The name Lynkestis originates from the name of the ancient kingdom, conquered by Philip, where the city was built.
Heraclea was a strategically important town during the Hellenistic period, as it was at the edge of Macedon's border with Epirus to the west and Paeonia to the north, until the middle of the 2nd century BC, when the Romans conquered Macedon and destroyed its political power. The Romans divided Macedonia into 4 regions and Heraclea was in the fourth region. The main Roman road in the area, Via Egnatia went through Heraclea, and Heraclea was an important stop. The prosperity of the city was maintained mainly due to this road. Objects discovered from the time of Roman rule in Heraclea are votive monuments, a portico, thermae (baths), a theatre and town walls.
In the early Christian period, Heraclea was an important Episcopal seat. Some of its bishops are mentioned in synods in Serdica and other nearby towns. The city was gradually abandoned in the 6th century AD following an earthquake and Slavic invasions.
Famous for its dazzling mosaics, ancient theater and Roman baths, Heraclea is the most vividly preserved city from the surviving Ancient Macedonian Empire in the country.
Heraclea Lyncestis was an ancient Macedonian city situated 2 km south of the present-day town of Bitola, Republic of Macedonia. It was founded by Philip II of Macedon in the middle of the 4th century BC, after he had conquered the surrounding region of Lyncestis and incorporated it into his kingdom of Macedon. The city was named in honor of the mythological Greek hero Heracles. The epithet Lyncestis means the Land of the Lynx in Greek.
Heraclea was a strategically important town during the Hellenistic period, as it was at the edge of Macedon's border with Epirus to the west, and to the non-Greek world to the north, until the middle of the 2nd century BC, when the Romans conquered Macedon and destroyed its political power. The Romans divided Macedonia into 4 regions and Heraclea was in the fourth region. The main Roman road in the area, Via Egnatia went through Heraclea, and Heraclea was an important stop. The prosperity of the city was maintained mainly due to this road. Objects discovered from the time of Roman rule in Heraclea are: Votive monuments, a portico, thermae (baths), a theatre and town walls. In the early Christian period, Heraclea was an important Episcopal seat. Some of its bishops are mentioned in synods in Serdica and other nearby towns. From this period are the ensembles of the Small and Great (Large, Big) basilica. The Grave (Funeral) basilica with a necropolis is located east of the theatre.
From the 4thto the 6th century A.D Heraclea also had an Episcopal seat. First excavations were done before World War I, but it’s since then have the full glories of the ancient city been discovered. Beautiful Roman baths, the Episcopal church and baptistery, a Jewish temple, portico and a Roman theater now used for summer concerts and theater performances, all stand proud in excellent condition. The Roman theater on the hill, who's ruins where unearthed in the late 1960's, was constructed during Emperor Hadrian's 20-year reign (A.D. 117-138). He is credited with building as well as restoring many structures in the province of Macedonia. It was not until after his death that the theater came into use. Artifacts found at the site indicate that it was primarily used to stage gladiator fights until the late 4th century, when such fighting was banned throughout the Empire.
There is a small museum on the grounds with few artifacts and a nice scale model of the city at its peak.

Alexander was born on 20 (or 21) July 356 BC, in Pella, the capital of the Ancient Greek Kingdom of Macedon and son to its ruler, Philip II. His mother was Philip's fourth wife Olympias, the daughter of Neoptolemus I, king of Epirus. Although Philip had seven or eight wives, Olympias was his principal spouse for some time, likely a result of giving birth to Alexander.
Alexander III of Macedon (20/21 July 356 -- 10/11 June 323 BC), commonly known as Alexander the Great (Greek: Μέγας Ἀλέξανδρος, Mégas Aléxandros), was a king of Macedon, a state in northern Greece. By the age of thirty, he had created one of the largest empires in ancient history, stretching from the Ionian Sea to the Himalayas. He was undefeated in battle and is considered one of the most successful commanders of all time. Born in Pella in 356 BC, Alexander was tutored by the famed philosopher Aristotle. In 336 BC he succeeded his father Philip II of Macedon to the throne after Philip was assassinated. Philip had brought most of the city-states of mainland Greece under Macedonian hegemony, using both military and diplomatic means.
Macedonia today is a geographical region of Greece, and the largest of the Greek territory.
It constitutes most of the geographic and historical region of ancient Macedon, a Greek kingdom ruled by the Argeads whose most celebrated members were Alexander the Great and his father Philip II.
In 336 B.C., Alexander the Great became the leader of the Greek kingdom of Macedonia. By the time he died 13 years later, Alexander had built an empire that stretched from Greece all the way to India. That brief but thorough empire-building campaign changed the world: It spread Greek ideas and culture from the Eastern Mediterranean to Asia. Historians call this era the Hellenistic period.
The name Macedonia was later applied to identify various administrative areas in the Roman and Byzantine Empires with widely differing borders.

FYROMIAN = resident of FORMER YUGOSLAVIAN REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA and not MACEDONIA because Macedonia is Greek state!
Macedonia does not have anything to do with the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM). Macedonia is a Greek historical region in northern Greece and the last 20 years created the state of FYROM.Has nothing to do with Greek history and terms of Macedonia.

Why Skopjans are not Macedonians:
1. GEOGRAPHICALLY
The biggest part of King Philip's ancient Macedonia was mainly in Greece. Geographically there are 2 more Macedonians as part of Bulgaria and Skopje, but no important historic event took place there. Not to mention that the area above Skopje was never part of the Greek Macedonia. Where as Macedonian history took place in Greece (Pella, Vergina etc.).
2. ETHNOLOGICALLY
They use Cyrillic Bulgarian alphabet but they are Slavs that came in the area after the 6th century aC. Kyro Gligorov, their ex president admitted this.
They used a Slavobulgarian dialect that they named as Macedonian language, a thing that doesn't exist. Based upon this fake language they name themselves Macedonians.
The truth is that they are Slavish people speaking a Bulgarian dialect.
3. HISTORICALLY
Their unhistorical arguments of a connection to ancient Macedonia and a discrimination between ancient Greeks and ancient totally fail and is a product of Propaganda. Historically and culturally Slavs have nothing to do with ancient Macedonia, which history began 1000 years before they came in the Balcanic area. I don't have to mention that Alexander was Greek, spoke Greek and all Macedonian is without any doubt Greek.
We do not claim to be descendants of Alexander the Great...we are Slavs and we speak a Slav language. Ljubica Achevska,2001.
We are not related to the northern Greeks who produced leaders like Philip and Alexander the Great. We are a Slav people and our language is closely related to Bulgarian. He also commented, There is some confusion about the identity of the people of my country. Gyordan Veselinov,1999.
We are Slavs who came to this area in the sixth century ... we are not descendants of the ancient Macedonians Kiro Gligorov,1992, same year he added: We are Macedonians but we are Slav Macedonians. That's who we are! We have no connection to Alexander the Greek and his Macedonia... Our ancestors came here in the 5th and 6th century

Macedonia is greek!
This is addressed to all those who challenge the Greek history.To all Skopjeans who are illiterate and do not know what they write.So the note below explains to all those who contest the Greek history and authenticity of Macedonia..Because Macedonia was,is,and will always be Greek!!
The entanglement between the Hellenic Republic of Greece and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM AKA Slavo-Monkeydonia), over the issue of the recognition of the latter and the name under which this recognition would take place, has served as a potent reminder of the considerable influence that nationalistic divides have always exerted in the Balkan region. The Hellenic Republic of Greece has been under threat throughout the centuries.
For the Hellenic Republic of Greece, this dispute animated passions and stimulated a nationalist fervor that had been unseen for decades and, remaining a not fully resolved issue, it may contain a number of elements that could serve as a focus of regional conflict in the future.
For the perpetrators of this criminally aggressive behaviour (FYROM AKA Slavo-Monkeydonia) this constitutes a matter of paramount importance not merely in defining its external policy but it was also perceived as a matter influencing both its existence as a nation and its future status in Southeastern Europe (this alone provides a clear indication of FYROMs aggressive political tactics).
This Group will attempt an analysis of the dispute between Greece and FYROM, from its beginnings up until the present day. In the first instance, it will trace the origins of the controversy and portray the current dispute as the latest stage in evolution of the Macedonian Question of the past. Furthermore, the diplomatic strategies of the two countries involved will be examined for the 1991-1995 period. In addition, the content and significance of the contentious issues of this debate will be scrutinized. Finally, the factors which contributed to the diplomatic exacerbation of the issue and caused a failure of both countries involved to secure a resolution to the dispute that they would consider positive will be analyzed and the repercussions for the Balkan region's short- and long-term geopolitical status quo will be outlined.
The geographical term Macedonia is a Greek word and was used in antiquity to designate the area inhabited by the Macedonians, the tall ones, apparently on account of the distinguishing physical height of this tribe. It was thus the inhabitants who gave their name to the region and not the other way round. For most of their earlier history, the Macedonians appear to have led a relatively peripheral existence and were accordingly slow to partake in the intellectual, social and cultural progress of southern Greece.
The kingdom of Macedonia reached a peak under Philip II (359-336 BC), when it was enlarged considerably through a series of successful military campaigns and included a large part of the southern Balkan peninsula. At the time of death of Philip's son, Alexander the Great, the Macedonians had created a vast empire in Asia and Africa, after spearheading an astounding military and ideological crusade against the Persians on behalf of all Greeks.
Slavs first appeared in the region in the 6th century A.D. during the great migrations of the period, whilst in the Middle Ages various other populations started moving in the area. Under Byzantine and Ottoman rule, the term was used in its geographical sense, i.e. it covered the boundaries of the former four Roman administrative regions of Macedonia.
