unless people are either famous or notorious, no one has much to say about them.. There is not really that much said about the Macedonians in the few centuries of previous Greek history anyway..

since Alexander was under “Greek influence” himself, that’s hardly surprising..


it was a "somewhat backward kingdom in- what we today call- northern Greece", as for “Its emergence as a Hellenic power “ well.. one usually trades “upwards” culturally..


IIRC, "Macedones did not participate" per se, only few members of the royal family did and that was not always a “given” with the then “Olympic Committee”.. I am sure you know what I mean..

By the way, I am Greek.

Γεια σου πατριωτη!!!

Now either the sources I quote are falsified or I cannot understand what do you mean by "ambiguous".
As for the Olympic games if the Royal family was participating how that makes them not Hellenic?
My position is same as Idomenease's: 50 years of propaganda and an american recognition are not enough to erase history.
