Alexander’s father Philip was the son of the Macedonian king Amyntas III and of Eurydice, an Illyrian princess. His mother Polyxena, or Olympias as she became known in Macedonia, was the daughter of the Molossian king Neoptolemus. Alexander was born into a dynamic world where violence was a way of life. He enjoyed war stories told around the palace and no doubt relished in his father’s victories. Philip was very fond of his son and spent a great deal of time giving him affection and telling him stories. Alexander’s earliest education was entrusted to Leonidas, a relative of Olympias. But as Leonidas found out, Alexander was no ordinary student and his defiance could not be influenced by the usual methods. So in 343 BC when Alexander was thirteen, Philip summoned Aristotle to tutor him. Aristotle, at the time, was not the famous man we know today but simply a teacher with a good reputation. Philip chose him on the recommendation of others. Aristotle was born in Stagira (a city in Chalcidice, conquered by Philip), the son of Nicomachus (once physician to Amyntas III). At age 40 (or more) Aristotle left his newly opened school in Mylitine, Lesbos and went to Pella where he was given residence in the quiet little village of Mieza. There, near the sanctuary of the Nymphs, away from the hustle and bustle and constant disruptions of Pella, Aristotle spent the next three years educating Alexander, along with a few other children. One of those children was Hephaestion whom Alexander befriended for life. Aristotle, in addition to teaching Alexander of life’s wonders, inspired in him a passionate love for culture and intellect that profoundly affected his life and the way he viewed the world. But it was Homer’s books that inspired Alexander the most. The Iliad, the best book ever written, and his two heroes Heracles and Achilles where the driving forces that championed Alexander’s desires for conquest and seeking the unknown. In addition to teaching him how 5 to be king, Aristotle also inspired in Alexander a keen interest in the natural sciences. In 340 BC at age sixteen, while his father Philip campaigned against Byzantium, Alexander was made regent of Pella. It was then that Alexander got a taste of what it was like to be in command, especially to command a battle and put down a rebellion. It was an insignificant rebellion instigated by the Thracian Maidoi but none- the-less it was a joy for the young prince to command. After defeating the enemy, Alexander took the town, resettled it with Macedonians and renamed it Alexandropolis, after himself. This would be the first in a line of many cities to be named after the young conqueror. Two years later in 338 BC, at age eighteen, Alexander had gained his father’s confidence to be given command of the Macedonian cavalry during the most important battle of Philip’s career. This was a pivotal battle that not only thrashed the allied City States but also ushered in a new age of warfare. At eighteen years old Alexander was part of it in every respect. Unfortunately, on that dreaded day in 337 BC when Philip decided to marry Cleopatra, the niece of general Attalus, Alexander’s pleasant relation with his father came to an abrupt end. Some say that at the marriage feast Alexander exchanged bitter words with Attalus and then caused a scene with his own father. Be it as it may, Alexander’s feelings were badly hurt. Feeling let down by his own father, Alexander, along with his mother, left Macedonia for Epirus. After taking his mother home Alexander left and went to

  • The Significance of the Geologic Time Factor in Metallogeny and Petrology
    THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE GEOLOGIC TIME FACTOR IN METALLOGENY AND PETROLOGY Mehmed RAMOVIÇ Natural Science Faculty, Sarajevo, Yugoslavia INTRODUCTION During the past decades metallogeny, as a new branch of geology, earned an important place in the industrial planning in many countries. Metallogeny treats the regularities of spatial distributions and temporal successions of origin of different types of mineral deposits and their relations to magmatic activities and orogenic stages. To compose useful prognostical metallogenetic maps, the co-operation is needed of many specialists, such as stratigraphers, structural geologists, petrologists, metalloge- nists, geochemists, geophysicists and others. Here we will point out the urgent need for co-ordination of metallogenetic studies of geologists of different parts of the world. The problem that metallogenists are faced with, after analyses of numerous documents (facts), is how to predict suitable regions in which to plan prospection for distinct types of mineral deposits and to choose suitable methods for their discovery. In this article we Will discuss the significance of the geologic time factor in metallogeny and petrology. Over the past ten years we have been gathering documents about different types of mineral deposits, their age, their relation to orogenic stages, the structures of the mining regions and metallogenetic belts, the character and quantitative relations between different types of accompanying magmatic rocks, about their absolute and relative geologic age determinations, and after analyses of numerous statistical data, we have established some regularities which are clearly evident in the Mediterranean countries. They could be summarized as follows : a. The metallogenetic differentiation develops gradually, and is closely related to particular geologic periods as schematically represented in Fig.1.; Fig.

    Source: Zone Bulgaria (http://en.zonebulgaria.com/) About Bulgaria General Information about Bulgaria Bulgaria is a country in Southeastern Europe and is situated on the Balkan Peninsula. To the north the country borders Rumania, to the east – the Black Sea, to the south – Turkey and Greece, and to the west – Yugoslavia and Macedonia. Bulgaria is a parliamentary republic with a National Assembly (One House Parliament) of 240 national representatives. The President is Head of State. Geography of Bulgaria The Republic of Bulgaria covers a territory of 110 993 square kilometres. The average altitude of the country is 470 metres above sea level. The Stara Planina Mountain occupies central position and serves as a natural dividing line from the west to the east. It is a 750 km long mountain range stretching from the Vrushka Chuka Pass to Cape Emine and is part of the Alpine-Himalayan mountain range. It reaches the Black Sea to the east and turns to the north along the Bulgarian-Yugoslavian border. A natural boundary with Romania is the Danube River, which is navigable all along for cargo and passenger vessels. The Black Sea is the natural eastern border of Bulgaria and its coastline is 378 km long. There are clearly cut bays, the biggest two being those of Varna and Bourgas. About 25% of the coastline are covered with sand and hosts our seaside resorts. The southern part of Bulgaria is mainly mountainous. The highest mountain is Rila with Mt. Moussala being the highest peak on the Balkan Peninsula (2925 m). The second highest and the mountain of most alpine character in Bulgaria is Pirin with its highest Mt.

Bibliography 273 Abstract The nation-state is now the dominant form of sovereign statehood, however, a century and a half ago the political map of Europe comprised only a handful of sovereign states, very few of them nations in the modern sense. Balkan historiography often tends to minimize the complexity of nation-building, either by referring to the national community as to a monolithic and homogenous unit, or simply by neglecting different social groups whose consciousness varied depending on region, gender and generation. Further, Bulgarian and Serbian historiography pay far more attention to the problem of "how" and "why" certain events have happened than to the emergence of national consciousness of the Balkan peoples as a complex and durable process of mental evolution. This dissertation on the concept of nationality in which most Bulgarians and Serbs were educated and socialized examines how the modern idea of nationhood was disseminated among the ordinary people and it presents the complicated process of national indoctrination carried out by various state institutions.

  • The Internal Macedonian-Adrianople Revolutionary Organization and the Idea for Autonomy for Macedonia and Adrianople Thrace
    The Internal Macedonian-Adrianople Revolutionary Organization and the Idea for Autonomy for Macedonia and Adrianople Thrace, 1893-1912 By Martin Valkov Submitted to Central European University Department of History In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Prof. Tolga Esmer Second Reader: Prof. Roumen Daskalov CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2010 “Copyright in the text of this thesis rests with the Author. Copies by any process, either in full or part, may be made only in accordance with the instructions given by the Author and lodged in the Central European Library. Details may be obtained from the librarian. This page must form a part of any such copies made. Further copies made in accordance with such instructions may not be made without the written permission of the Author.” CEU eTD Collection ii Abstract The current thesis narrates an important episode of the history of South Eastern Europe, namely the history of the Internal Macedonian-Adrianople Revolutionary Organization and its demand for political autonomy within the Ottoman Empire. Far from being “ancient hatreds” the communal conflicts that emerged in Macedonia in this period were a result of the ongoing processes of nationalization among the different communities and the competing visions of their national projects. These conflicts were greatly influenced by inter-imperial rivalries on the Balkans and the combination of increasing interference of the Great European Powers and small Balkan states of the Ottoman domestic affairs. I argue that autonomy was a multidimensional concept covering various meanings white-washed later on into the clean narratives of nationalism and rebirth.

  • Faded Memories
    Faded Memories Life and Times of a Macedonian Villager 1 The COVER PAGE is a photograph of Lerin, the main township near the villages in which many of my family ancestors lived and regularly visited. 2 ACKNOWLEGEMENTS This publication is essentially an autobiography of the life and times of my father, John Christos Vellios, Jovan Risto Numeff. It records his recollections, the faded memories, passed down over the years, about his family ancestors and the times in which they lived. My father personally knew many of the people whom he introduces to his readers and was aware of more distant ancestors from listening to the stories passed on about them over the succeeding generations. His story therefore reinforces the integrity of oral history which has been used since ancient times, by various cultures, to recall the past in the absence of written, documentary evidence. This publication honours the memory of my father’s family ancestors and more generally acknowledges the resilience of the Macedonian people, who destined to live, seemingly forever under foreign subjugation, refused to deny their heritage in the face of intense political oppression and on-going cultural discrimination. This account of life and times of a Macedonian villager would not have been possible without the support and well-wishes of members of his family and friends whose own recollections have enriched my father’s narrative. I convey my deepest gratitude for the contributions my father’s brothers, my uncles Sam, Norm and Steve and to his nephew Phillip (dec), who so enthusiastically supported the publication of my father’s story and contributed on behalf of my father’s eldest brother Tom (dec) and his family.

  • Los Levantamientos De 1903 En Macedonia Y Tracia
    "Abajo el Sultán, ¡Viva la Federación balcánica!" Los levantamientos de 1903 en Macedonia y Tracia Traducido del Búlgaro al Inglés por Will Firth (con fondos del Institute for Anarchist Studies). Gracias a Koicho Koichev por su ayuda con las expresiones difíciles. Traducido del Inglés al Castellano por M. Gómez. Imágenes de la Wikipedia y Wikicommons. Macedonia y Tracia, 1903. El Imperio Turco-Otomano estaba en un estado de decadencia. Durante siglos las autoridades habían gobernado un puño de hierro, imponiendo impuestos y otras obligaciones, pero en la mayoría de los casos permitiendo a las personas a hablar sus propias lenguas y a practicar sus propias religiones. Ahora, sin embargo, se vivían tiempos de crisis. Las fronteras del Imperio estaban retrocediendo y el control Otomano se volvió cada vez más duro y arbitrario. El espectro de las luchas de liberación amenazaban las posesiones cada vez menores en el sur de los Balcanes. Una insurrección brutalmente aplastada seguía a otra insrrección aplastada, así durante generaciones. Sin embargo ahora parecía que la hora había llegado: imbuidos con el espíritu de justicia e igualdad vivos en las comunidades de los pueblos y las aldeas, los campesinos y los artesanos se aliaron para liberarse de los males duales de la servitud feudal y la ocupación turca - para los rebeldes ambas fuerzas de represión eran lo mismo. Parece que la población, principalmente eslava, en Macedonia y Tracia veía el principado de Bulgaria, que había recibido una gran autonomía del Imperio Otomano en 1878, como una clase de modelo para su lucha anto- otomana. Bulgaria también tenía una importancia logística para los revolucionarios de Macedonia y Tracia - les daba armas y se producían explosivos que serían empleados en actos de sabotaje en las áreas bajo dominio directo turco.
