Hi!
I have a doubt: i know that the macedonians weren't exactly greeks, they spoke a diferent language (Plutarch said that once, Alexander when furious beggin to spoke in macedonian unstead of greek), but how close were they of the greeks? Or they were another barbarian people that was considered helenized since they adopted the greek culture?
Thanks in the advance.
