He was born in Pella which had nothing to do with greece as far as i know back then, belonging to Macedonia a country with its own culture. He shouldn't be considered a greek cause it belongs to greece today?

Of course he doesn't. Mustafa Kemal was born in Thesselonica (whatever) Greece. Today he is the biggest symbol of Turkish independence.

None of the Ottoman soldiers (Janissaries) were Turks.But that didnt stop them on their conquers.

Its about how peoples culture is, the way of thinking.

And thats why Alexander is a Greek.(and a Macedonian as i mentioned before)

Historically, it seems like the Greeks embraced his 'Greekness' when it suited them, and rejected it at other times.

The greatest poet of poland, Adam Mickiewicz, in his most famous poem: "invocation", calls lithuania his homeland... Ofc whole poem is written in polish and the author was polish patriot. Things aren't always black and white, and weren't 2 thousands years ago, when term nationality wasn't as crystallized as today.

In that point i would agree 100% but when you look at Alexander the great i don't quite think that way. He was born in Pella, that time macedonia and conquered the eastern world, i don't entirely follow Panos way of thinking but just cause Pella is a part of greece today doesn't mean he is greek. Or have i gotten you wrong Panos?

Athens ---> Athenians = Hellenes

Sparta ---> Spartans = Hellenes

Corinth ---> Corinthians = Hellenes

Macedonia ---> Macedonians = Hellenes

Back in the day, Greece wasnt united, because each city state had different priorities than the rest, but that doesnt mean that MACEDONIANS, werent HELLENES.

There is this quote from Herodotus about Alexander I, the grandfather of Alexander the Great.

"And that these descendants of Perdiccas are Hellenes, as they themselves say, I happen to know myself, and not only so, but I will prove in the succeeding history that they are Hellenes. Moreover the Hellanodikai, who manage the games at Olympia, decided that they were so: for when Alexander wished to contend in the games and had descended for this purpose into the arena, the Hellenes who were to run against him tried to exclude him, saying that the contest was not for Barbarians to contend in but for Hellenes: since however Alexander proved that he was of Argos, he was judged to be a Hellene, and when he entered the contest of the foot-race his lot came out with that of the first."

Alexander I, hailing from Macedonia is described as unworthy to compete because he is a barbarian and not a Hellen, but he was deemed a Hellen because he proved that he was of Argos. Which leads me to believe that Macedonians at the time, while they shared the Greek language and culture, were not considered Hellenes by the rest of the Hellenes. Nevertheless the fact that his grandfather was judged a Greek and his mother being the daughter of the king of Epirus, still made Alexander the Great a Greek, even if Macedonians were not deemed Hellenes.

Greeks were said to reject him due to his heritage, if it were not for the fact of Roman rule, which prompted them to acknowledge him as Greek. However, this could be from the Persian half of his heritage, so you're probably right.

panos, honestly do you really think it matters that much? the fact he was greek (or not) shouldn't make you proud of anything, since you have done nothing in alexander's conquest, nor i should be proud to be italian just because dante or caesar were italian, nor oberyn should be proud of being french just because napoleon was french and so on.

i'm more concerned about his deeds than his nationality.

Alexander may be Greek but what Panos is proud about, is ancient Greece. And as Panos said, ancient Greece was divided in city states. Panos is from Athens so he doesn't have anything to do with Alexander or his Macedonians, nor Spartans he likes so much. He's from the city which was center of Greek culture and hometown of open homosexuality, not the place where fearless warriors or conquerors were born.

Panos, you're doing it wrong. You should be a poet, mathematician or simply, a bundle of sticks. Being brute won't get you anywhere because your ancestors weren't from that area, sorry bro :(

No, I'm just teasing Panos. You're being way too serious as always. This whole topic is not moved to Historical Discussion for a reason, it's not meant to be a serious discussion.

No wonder you don't get it, you're just like Panos. Too proud of your heritage because it seems you got nothing else to hold on in your life. I'm sorry because of that, I truly am.

Wrong. The battles Versus Troy(first time), the Persian wars(Both times Athens led the coalition), then finally, Alexander.

He spread Hellenic culture globally, but Greece had united several times before him. He just happened to make a nation and an empire that lasted and was Greek centered. Also, remember that back then, "Greek" learning, etc, was a high mark and very wanted because of the "non-barbarian" status it gave off as well.

Sorry buddy, but as a Greek, allow me to know Greek history a bit better, yes there were indeed some coalitions before Alexander, but not as big as his, he managed to unite 95% of all Greeks under his banner *except the pussy Spartans*.

Regarding the Greco-Persian war, the coalition consisted of

Athens
Sparta
Thespiae
Thebes
and some random Greek forces from Cyprus and minor Asia

Yes, those 4 are the most known city states in Ancient Greece, but there were others who were equally strong, but history tends to be injust with them.

Let me quote you something from Wikipedia

Hellenic alliance

Quote
In 481 BC, Xerxes sent ambassadors to city states throughout Greece, asking for food, land, and water as tokens of their submission to Persia. However, Xerxes' ambassadors deliberately avoided Athens and Sparta, hoping thereby that those states would not learn of the Persians' plans.[114] States that were opposed to Persia thus began to coalesce around these two city states. A congress of states met at Corinth in late autumn of 481 BC, and a traitor alliance of Greek city-states was formed.[115] This confederation had powers both to send envoys to ask for assistance and to dispatch troops from the member states to defensive points after joint consultation. Herodotus does not formulate an abstract name for the union but simply calls them "οἱ Ἕλληνες" (the Greeks) and "the Greeks who had sworn alliance" (Godley translation) or "the Greeks who had banded themselves together" (Rawlinson translation).[116] From now on, they will be referred to as the 'Allies'. Sparta and Athens had a leading role in the congress but the interests of all the states influenced defensive strategy.[117] Little is known about the internal workings of the congress or the discussions during its meetings. Only 70 of the nearly 700 Greek city-states sent representatives. Nevertheless, this was remarkable for the disjointed Greek world, especially since many of the city-states present were still technically at war with one another.[118]

and here is the Source for those who want to educate themselves even more

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greco-Persian_Wars#Hellenic_alliance


Same happened to Trojan war, yes, there were many Greek city states, attacking Troy as one nation/force, but they werent the majority.


Alexander managed to unite all Hellenes, from Byzantion to Crete, and from Minor Asia to Cyprus   :wink:

But really, on the topic : Was Alexander the Great considered a greek?

At the time of Alexander the Great, he was considered a Macedonian living in Greece, willing to unite the Hellene culture (which is Greek culture today) under one banner.

In our modern times, Alexander the Great can be indeed considered a greek, because nowadays all the city-states and most of the political formations that formed Greece are inside one political country : Greece.

Macedonians consider themselvs "Macedonian" so I'd listen to those who live there. Seems like only the Greeks want them to be Greek.
And why whouldn't they, Alexander the Great destroyed their ancient enemy the dhurka dhurkas. And he steamrolled Greece.
He was even a boy-lover. What more could a nationalistic Greek want. I do think they also lived more through farming then the Greeks.

Know your superiors, the Greeks certainly did, can't beat them, claim they are you!
