The Macedonia links of prehistoric Macedonia were mainly with Greece and Anatolia.

The region is highly mountainouswith most major urban centres Macedonia as Thessaloniki and Kavala being concentrated on its southern coastline. It also contains Mount Athosan autonomous monastic region of Greece. Macedonia forms part of Greece's national frontier with three countries: Bulgaria to the northeast, North Macedonia to the north, and Albania to the northwest. Macedonia incorporates most of the territories of ancient Macedona kingdom ruled by the Argeadswhose most celebrated members were Alexander the Great and his father Philip II. The name Macedonia was later applied to a number of widely-differing administrative areas in the Roman and Byzantine empires, resulting in modern geographical Macedonia. Even prior to the establishment of the modern Greek state in Macedonia was identified as a Greek province, albeit without clearly defined geographical borders. It continued as an administrative subdivision of Greece until the administrative reform ofwhen it was divided into the regions of Western MacedoniaCentral Macedoniaand part of the region of Eastern Macedonia and Thracethe latter containing also the whole Greek part of Macedonia region Macedonia Thrace. The region remains an important economic centre for Greece. Macedonia accounts for the Macedonia of Greece's agricultural production and is also a major contributor to the country's industrial and tourism sectors. Central Macedonia is Greece's fourth-most-popular Macedonia region and the most popular destination that is not an island. Linguist Robert S. Beekes supports the idea that both terms are of Pre-Greek substrate origin and cannot be Macedonia in terms of Indo-European morphology. Macedonia lies at the crossroads of human development between the Aegean and the Balkans. The earliest signs of human Macedonia date back to the palaeolithic period, notably with the Petralona cave in which was found the oldest yet known European humanoid, Archanthropus europaeus petraloniensis. In the Late Neolithic period c. One of the most important innovations was Macedonia start of copper working. According to Herodotusthe history of Macedonia began with the Makednoi tribe, among the first to use the name, migrating to the region from Histiaeotis in the Macedonia. There they lived near Thracian tribes such as Macedonia Bryges who would later leave Macedonia for Asia Minor Macedonia become known as Phrygians. Macedonia was Macedonia after the Makednoi. Accounts Macedonia other toponyms such as Emathia are attested to have been in use before that. Herodotus claims that a branch of the Macedonians invaded Southern Greece towards the end of the second millennium B. Upon reaching the Peloponnese the invaders were renamed Dorianstriggering the accounts of the Dorian invasion. For Macedonia the Macedonian tribes were organised in independent kingdoms, in what is now Central Macedonia, and their role in internal Macedonia politics was minimal, even before the rise of Athens. The rest of the region was inhabited by various Thracian and Illyrian tribes as well as mostly coastal colonies of other Greek states such as AmphipolisOlynthos, Potidea, Stageira and many others, and to the north another tribe dwelt, called the Paeonians. During the late 6th and early 5th century BC, Macedonia region came under Persian rule until the destruction Macedonia Xerxes at Plataea. During Macedonia Peloponnesian WarMacedonia became the theatre of many military actions by the Peloponnesian League and the Athenians, and saw incursions of Thracians and Illyrians, as attested by Thucydides. Many Macedonian cities were allied to the Spartans both the Spartans and the Macedonians were Dorian, while the Athenians were Ionianbut Athens maintained the colony of Amphipolis Macedonia her control for many years. After his assassination, his son Alexander succeeded to the throne of Macedon and carrying the title of Hegemon of League Macedonia Corinth started his long Macedonia towards the east. For a brief period a Macedonian Macedonia called the "Koinon of the Macedonians" was Macedonia. It was divided into four administrative districts by the Romans in the hope that this would Macedonia revolts more difficult, but this manoeuvre failed. Then Macedonia BC, Macedonia was fully annexed by the Romans. Strabowriting in the first century AD places the border of Macedonia on that part at Lychnidos[19] Byzantine Achris and presently Ochrid. Therefore ancient Macedonia did not significantly extend beyond its current borders in Greece. To the east, Macedonia ended according to Strabo at the river Strymon Macedonia, although he mentions that other writers placed Macedonia's border with Thrace at the river Nestos[20] which is also the present geographical boundary Macedonia the two administrative districts of Greece.

  • STUDIES in the DEVELOPMENT of ROYAL AUTHORITY in ARGEAD MACEDONIA WILLIAM STEVEN GREENWALT Annandale, Virginia B.A., University
    STUDIES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF ROYAL AUTHORITY IN ARGEAD MACEDONIA WILLIAM STEVEN GREENWALT Annandale, Virginia B.A., University of Virginia, 1975 M.A., University of Virginia, 1978 A Dissertation Presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Corcoran Department of History University of Virginia May, ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the elements which defined Argead kingship from the mid-seventh until the late fourth centuries B.C. It begins by reviewing the Argead king list where it is argued that the official reckoning of the dynasty's past was exploited in order to secure the throne against rivals, including those who were Argeads. Chapter Two analyzes the principles of Argead succession and concludes that the current theories on the subject are unsatisfactory in face of the e v id enc e. Ra the r, the sources suggest that Argead succession was a function of status where many ingredients were considered before a candidate 1 eg it ima te 1 y ass urned the throne. Among the factors influencing the selection were, the status of a potential heir's mother, age, competence, order of birth, and in lieu of father to son succession, relation to the late monarch. Chapter Three outlines the development of the king's military, judicial, economic, and social responsibilities from the personal monarchy of the early period to the increa~ingly centralized realm of the fourth century. Chapter Four concentrates on the religious aspects of Argead kingship, reviewing the monarch's religious duties· and interpreting a widespread foundation myth as an attempt to distinguish Argead status by its divine origin and its specific cult responsibilities.

  • National Myths in Interdependence
    National Myths in Interdependence: The Narratives of the Ancient Past among Macedonians and Albanians in the Republic of Macedonia after 1991 By Matvey Lomonosov Submitted to Central European University Nationalism Studies Program In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts CEU eTD Collection Advisor: Professor Maria Kovács Budapest, Hungary 2012 Abstract The scholarship on national mythology primarily focuses on the construction of historical narratives within separate “nations,” and oftentimes presents the particular national ist elites as single authors and undisputable controllers of mythological versions of the past. However, the authorship and authority of the dominant national ist elites in designing particular narratives of the communal history is limited. The national past, at least in non- totalitarian societies, is widely negotiated, and its interpretation is always heteroglot . The particular narratives that come out of the dominant elites’ “think-tanks” get into a polyphonic discursive milieu discussing the past. Thus they become addressed to alternative narratives, agree with them, deny them or reinterpret them. The existence of those “other” narratives as well as the others’ authorship constitutes a specific factor in shaping mythopoeic activities of dominant political and intellectual national elites. Then, achieving personal or “national” goals by nationalists usually means doing so at the expense or in relations to the others. If in this confrontation the rivals use historical myths, the evolution of the later will depend on mutual responses. Thus national historical myths are constructed in dialogue, contain voices of the others, and have “other” “authors” from within and from without the nation in addition to “own” dominant national ist elite.

  • Evidence for a Burushaski-Phrygian Connection Ilija Čašule Abstract
    Acta Orientalia 2014: 75, 3–30. Copyright © 2014 Printed in India – all rights reserved ACTA ORIENTALIA ISSN 0001-6438 Evidence for a Burushaski-Phrygian connection Ilija Čašule Macquarie University Abstract Based on previous research on the very strong correlations between the Burushaski and Phrygian languages, expanded in this article, we discuss in detail the direct mythological correspondence between Burushaski hargín ‘dragon’ and Phrygian argwitas ‘dragon’. We also contemplate a possible etymology for Indo-European *silVbVr- ‘silver’. The proposition of a historical link between Burushaski and Phrygian is reconsidered, as well as the gene evidence that locates the Burusho within North-Western Indo-European. Keywords: Burushaski, Phrygian, genetic classification, Indo- European, mythology, names for ‘dragon’ and ‘silver’. 1. Introduction 1.1 Burushaski studies and Indo-European Burushaski is a language-isolate spoken by around 90,000 people (Berger 1990: 567) in the Karakoram area in North-West Pakistan. Its dialectal differentiation is minor. There are three very closely related 4 Ilija Čašule dialects: Hunza and Nager with minimal differences, and the Yasin dialect, which exhibits some differential traits. The earliest, mostly sketchy, material for Burushaski is from the mid to late 19th century (e.g. Cunningham 1854, Hayward 1871, Biddulph 1880, Leitner 1889). The principal sources for Nagar and Hunza Burushaski are Lorimer (1935-1938) and Berger (1998), and for Yasin Burushaski, Zarubin (1927), Berger (1974) and Tiffou-Morin (1989) and Tiffou- Pesot (1989). Edel’man-Klimov’s (1970) analysis, revised and summarised in Edel’man (1997) is valuable in the quality of the grammatical description. Berger’s (2008) synthesis is very important for the historical phonology and morphology of Burushaski and its internal reconstruction.

  • Ancient Macedonians
    Ancient Macedonians This article is about the native inhabitants of the historical kingdom of Macedonia. For the modern ethnic Greek people from Macedonia, Greece, see Macedonians (Greeks). For other uses, see Ancient Macedonian (disambiguation) and Macedonian (disambiguation). From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ANCIENT MACEDONIANS ΜΑΚΕΔΌΝΕΣ Stag Hunt Mosaic, 4th century BC Languages. Ancient Macedonian, then Attic Greek, and later Koine Greek Religion. ancient Greek religion The Macedonians (Greek: Μακεδόνες, Makedónes) were an ancient tribe that lived on the alluvial plain around the rivers Haliacmonand lower Axios in the northeastern part of mainland Greece. Essentially an ancient Greek people,[1] they gradually expanded from their homeland along the Haliacmon valley on the northern edge of the Greek world, absorbing or driving out neighbouring non-Greek tribes, primarily Thracian and Illyrian.[2][3] They spoke Ancient Macedonian, a language closely related to Ancient Greek, perhaps a dialect, although the prestige language of the region was at first Attic and then Koine Greek.[4] Their religious beliefs mirrored those of other Greeks, following the main deities of the Greek pantheon, although the Macedonians continued Archaic burial practices that had ceased in other parts of Greece after the 6th century BC. Aside from the monarchy, the core of Macedonian society was its nobility. Similar to the aristocracy of neighboring Thessaly, their wealth was largely built on herding horses and cattle. Although composed of various clans, the kingdom of Macedonia, established around the 8th century BC, is mostly associated with the Argead dynasty and the tribe named after it. The dynasty was allegedly founded by Perdiccas I, descendant of the legendary Temenus of Argos, while the region of Macedon perhaps derived its name from Makedon, a figure of Greek mythology.

  • The Intention of This Essay Is to Provide Simple and Easy to Understand Overview of Periods from Ancient Macedonian History and Culture
    Basil Chulev • ∘ ⊕ ∘ • Ancient Macedonia THE RISE OF MACEDON <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> 2014 The intention of this essay is to provide simple and easy to understand overview of periods from ancient Macedonian history and culture. It avoids substantial and detailed explanations that consider wider historical background of the events and persons described below, and is written primarily for those approaching the topic for the first time. It also avoids complex explanatory comments or insightful footnotes on the citations from the sources. The given explanatory notes are prevalently etymological. The introduction comprises the early periods of Macedonian history and presents a brief overall retrospective of prehistoric Macedonia. The time-frame elaborated as a main theme of this essay ranges from the beginning of the 4th century BCE and establishing of the rule of Filip II of Macedon in 360 BCE, until his death in 336 BCE. The interpretations given here are meant to enhance our understanding and appreciation of a kingdom that became a superpower of the ancient world. They are focused strictly on the Macedonian aspect of the story disregarding the wider socio-political perspective. All the dates and references to centuries are „BCE“ except where indicated otherwise. Throughout this essay, Macedonia/Macedonians generally refer to the area of the Macedonian peninsula mainland north of Mount Olymp, southeast of the Mount Shar (lat. Scardus) and west of the Rhodope Mountains. Macedonian peninsula refers to what is called „Balkans“ as of the 19th century, occupying the part of southeastern Europe that lies south of the Danube and Sava rivers and forms a peninsula bounded by the Adriatic and Ionian seas in the west, the Aegean and Black seas in the east, and the Mediterranean Sea in the south.

  • Histoire Par Les Noms' in Macedonia
    5 ‘L’histoire par les noms’ in Macedonia MILTIADES HATZOPOULOS THIRTY-FIVE YEARS AGO L. ROBERT DECLARED: ‘Nous devons faire non point des catalogues de noms, mais l’histoire des noms, et même l’histoire par les noms’. Brilliant as it is, this programmatic declaration needs, in my opinion, slight emendation if it is to be realistic: ‘Nous ne devons point faire que des catalogues de noms, mais aussi l’histoire des noms, et même l’histoire par les noms’.1 In fact, before writing the history of names and even more before writing history through names, we must go through the less exciting—some would say the more tedious—work of collecting them. Robert had his notes, his cards, and, above all, his incomparable memory. We, by contrast, had until very recently only the 1959 reprint of the 1911 re-publication of W. Pape’s Wörterbuch der griechischen Eigennamen, first published in 1842 and considerably augmented by G. E. Benseler and son in 1862 and 1870, which contains much dubious or obsolete information; and F. Bechtel’s eighty- year-old Die historischen Personennamen des Griechischen bis zur Kaiserzeit, a more reliable book than Pape-Benseler but at the same time more limited in scope. This is no longer the case. Thanks to the indefatigable efforts of Peter Fraser and Elaine Matthews, we now have at our disposal—despite Robert’s scepticism2—the first three volumes of the Lexicon of Greek Personal Names covering the whole of Greece proper with the exception of Macedonia, and offering the most up-to-date and reliable catalogue of Greek anthroponyms.

  • Bryges and Phrygians: Parallelism Between the Balkans and Asia Mi­ Nor Through Archeological, Linguistic and Historical Evidence
    UDC 397(497:56):904-03(093)"6387" Original Scholarly Work Eleonora PETROVA MuseumofMacedonia Skopje BRYGES AND PHRYGIANS: PARALLELISM BETWEEN THE BALKANS AND ASIA MI­ NOR THROUGH ARCHEOLOGICAL, LINGUISTIC AND HISTORICAL EVIDENCE Abstract: This paper is a contribution to the efforts to delineate the relations between the Balkans and Asia Minor, notably between the Bryges and the Phrygians, through archaeological, linguistic and historical evidence. There are close analogies between the matt-painted geometrical pottery from the south ofthe central Balkans ofthe Early Iron Age and the Phrygian geomet­ ric painted pottery ofthe 8th century B.C. There are also similarities between the onomastic material from this Balkan area and Phrygia Maior. Historical sources confirm numerous contacts between the Balkans and Asia Minor in the Transitional Period and the Early Iron Age, related with the Brygian migration. Although many authors consider the Bryges as a population of Thracian origin, the linguistic researches have shown that the Thracian, the Phrygian and the Daco-Mysian are close but distinct languages originating from a common Indo-European language. I This closeness and the develop­ ment ofthe languages distinguishes the Bryges/Phrygians as a separate proto­ population, in relation to the others, whose formation started during the last waves of settling of the Indo-Europeans. The second important answer in . This paper was presented at the International Symposium on Archaeology, History and Ancient Languages of Thrace and Phrygia, Ankara, 3-4 June 1995.
