It\'s all Greek to me (Makedonians included) ...

Just as an aside to this - and to briefly return to the subject we mustn't debate :oops: ; i.e. the modern name/identity issue of a certain portion of the Balkans; I came across these interesting articles/books:

It is a little out of date for a 2010 reader, but does go some way towards explaining how all the confusion might have arisen in the modern Balkan world. Whether there are any resonances for the student of the ancient comings and goings in this region I cannot really say, and would leave that to each viewer himself. But one thing is certain, the tendency for power bases over the millenia to attempt social engineering of conquered or controlled peoples, or minorities, is nothing new.

I don't wish for this subject to re-enter the fray here - just thought some of you might like to read it.

Bloody commies hey! :roll:
