Показать описание
Watch the 21st episode of the series “THE ANCIENT MACEDONIANS WERE NOT GREEK” - the series that will destroy the Greek anti-Macedonian propaganda and will show to the world that Macedonia was never Greek in the history! In 40 episodes will be presented testimonies from more than fifty ancient authors from various ethnic backgrounds who clearly testified that the ancient Macedonians were not Greeks!
The 21st episode is dedicated to the testimonies from PSEUDO SCYLAX (IV or III c. BC) and STRABO (I c. BC - year 23 AD).
In the IV or III century BC, a manuscript entitled "Periplus" appeared. In lack of authentic information about the author of the work "Periplus", the ordinance "Pseudo Scylax" became accepted. The borders of the Greek territories in ancient times are described in this work:
“From Ambracia Greece is continuous (along the coast) as far as the river Peneus.” (“Memorandum on the Ancient Boundaries of Greece”, British documents of foreign affairs, Part I, Series F, Europe 1848 - 1914, Vol. 14 „Greece, 1847 - 1914“).
The Ambracian Gulf is located south from Epirus, while the river Peneus passes through Larissa. This means that not only the Macedonians and Macedonia, but Epirus and the Epirots were NOT treated as Greek.
Strabo was born in the first half of the I century BC in the region. He is a famous ancient geographer and historian. In his work "Geography", Strabo mentions the Macedonians over twenty times, very clearly separating them from the Greeks. In the same book Strabo writes about the history of Europe, again separating the Macedonians from the Greeks, mentioning them as different nations:
“…So that throughout its entire extent the agricultural and civilized element dwells side by side with the warlike element; but of the two elements the one that is peace-loving is more numerous and therefore keeps control over the whole body; and the leading nations, too — formerly the Greeks and later the Macedonians and the Romans — have taken hold and helped.” (SOURCE: Strabo, “Geography” 5,26).
