Alexander the Great Alexander of Macedo
Macedonian brah
Alexander III the Great, the King of Macedonia and conqueror of the Persian Empire is considered one of the greatest military geniuses of all times. He was inspiration for later conquerors such as Hannibal the Carthaginian, the Romans Pompey and Caesar, and Napoleon. Alexander was born in 356 BC in Pella, the ancient capital of Macedonia. He was son of Philip II, King of Macedonia, and Olympias, the princess of neighboring Epirus. He spent his childhood watching his father transforming Macedonia into a great military power, winning victory after victory on the battlefields throughout the Balkans. When he was 13, Philip hired the Greek philosopher Aristotle to be Alexander’s personal tutor. During the next three years Aristotle gave Alexander a training in rhetoric and literature and stimulated his interest in science, medicine, and philosophy, all of which became of importance in Alexander’s later life. In 340, when Philip assembled a large Macedonian army and invaded Thrace, he left his 16 years old son with the power to rule Macedonia in his absence as regent, which shows that even at such young age Alexander was recognized as quite capable. But as the Macedonian army advanced deep into Thrace, the Thracian tribe of Maedi bordering north-eastern Macedonia rebelled and posed a danger to the country. Alexander assembled an army, led it against the rebels, and with swift action defeated the Maedi, captured their stronghold, and renamed it after himself to Alexandropolis.
Two years later in 338 BC, Philip gave his son a commanding post among the senior generals as the Macedonian army invaded Greece. At the Battle of Chaeronea the Greeks were defeated and Alexander displayed his bravery by destroying the elite Greek force, the Theban Secret Band. Some ancient historians recorded that the Macedonians won the battle thanks to his bravery.

Truth is that you cant be ancient macedonian cause you came from eastern europe in the 5th century (thats 400 A.D.) and you speak and write in an altered form of slavic.
Ancient Macedonians spoke Greek, had Greek names and worshiped Greek Gods.
And a video for you :
This is what the professor of history in Oxford university thinks about Fyrom.

Go fall from some bridge and hang yourselfs,vardaskians,Macedonia was,is and always be greek!
Your behaviour makes you the most hated country in Europe.
Everyone knows that you steal history and culture from your neighbours.
Keep inventing history,losers...
Only a nuclear bomb can save the world from you.
If you can speak greek,know what the word Macedonia means,know the meaning of the vergina sun,you have the right to call yoursleves Macedonians.Since you don't know anything of these,you are thieves of history and brainwashed.Even if you learn someday all of these,you can't be called Macedonians,because you don't have the same blood with ancient Macedonians,and Greece generally.
By the way,learn the real and objective history of Macedonia here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macedon
and don't speak a lot,because the entire planet,even the aliens,admit that Macedonia is Greek...
EVERYONE KNOWS YOU ARE WRONG
GO CRY ME A RIVER NOW
