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?

Historically, it seems like the Greeks embraced his 'Greekness' when it suited them, and rejected it at other times.
Discussing this with Panos in another thread i would like the opinion of others in the community.
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?
give an example please
Macedonia was a HELLENIC CITY STATE YOU CUNT!Macedonia was not a hellenic city state, it was a kingdom ruled by a king. As teeth said they were considered barbarian by their greek counterparts
LIKE ATHENS, SPARTA, THEBES, CORINTH, ETC ETC, SWEET BABY JESUS MY OCD IS KILLING ME!
JUST BECAUSE GREECE WASNT UNITED BACK THEN, DOESNT MEAN THAT HELLENES WERENT GREEKS

every city state had a kingNot in every case. Some were ruled by oligarchies, monarchies, or democracies.
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 :(
All those nations were of the Hellenic culture, which became the Greek culture as time passed by and the country united under one banner.
Wars of defence against Achaemenids and Pelopponesian War. Athens>Lacedaemonians. Understand that you are an ignorant retard, and should stop speaking up on subjects you know nothing about. I suppose you are on the downswing of your bipolar range at the moment and don't feel like acting as if you are above trolling and being a cunt, i.e "roleplaying".

You're all wrong. He was Albanian. So was Leonidas from 300 watch the movies.
And guess who was the first one who united all the Hellenes under one banner first :wink:
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.
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]
The only thing I'm sure is a fact, is that Alexander enjoyed having cocks pushed into his shitbox. Still an awesome General though.
He just happened to make a nation and an empire that lasted
There is no question Alexander was gay.
Well who gives a shit that greece was cool and stuff several thousand years ago? Nowadays you're broke and filled with people like Panos.
If people with the same ethos and moral grounds like mine, were ruling Greece, none of these would`ve ever happened.
But sadly, centroleftist party was ruling Greece for the last 30 years, and look at us now, we are almost living like beggars, getting mocked by little retards like yourself.
Hopefully, soon enough all things will change.

What you fail to explain, is why other countries don't have problems with centro-leftist parties ruling them.
he had 3 wives
Just because he enjoyed women doesn't mean he didn't enjoy men too, it is widely known he loved a cock or two. I have a girlfriend and a son but I still suck some dicks occasionally.
I think Macedonians have a differnet opinion on this topic

Macedonians consider themselvs "Macedonian" so I'd listen to those who live there.I wouldn't because current Republic of Macedonia has very little to do with the historical kingdom of Macedonia and its inhabitants have very little to do with Alexander.
