Also whether you are a greek or not is not the issue. You obviously are greek. As Macedonia is currently a part of greece.

The ancient Macedonians however were not. They were not treated as fellow greeks by the ancient greeks, nor were they treaty as greeks by the romans.

At THAT time period, the macedonians were not greeks. Those people were not greeks.

What was true thousands of years ago has no bearing on your heritage now as many things have changed since then, so don't take it as an attack like that, as I have no political motivations.

Whether or not macedonians were later intergrated into greek society does not matter. Nor would I say those macedonians of Alxeanders time have anything to do with anything Yugoslavian.

As an example, during the time of the Roman Empire, one would not have considered Alexander's empire a Roman empire would they?
