Ancient Macedonia was a Hellenic kingdom, such as Epirus or Cyrene (and technically Sparta, with two kings ruling simultaneously).

Alexander (and the Macedonians) spoke Greek (a Doric dialect of Greek), wrote in Greek, worshipped the same pantheon of Gods and self identified as Greek.

Because Macedon(ia) was a kingdom, it was treated as a lesser state by the city states to its south (Macedon was more of Homeric kingdom, since abandoned by the southern city states), but the founders originated from Argos in the Peloponnese.

The key thing here is to not confuse Ancient Macedonia with the modern Republic of Macedonia. The Republic of Macedonia is a modern Slavic state, which has adopted the name from the region of Macedonia (with the first Slavic reference to this in the early 20th century); it is also north of Ancient Macedonia, lying within the Paeonian and Illyrian regions of the Ancient Balkans.

The northern Greek region of Macedonia corresponds approximately to the Ancient Kingdom of Macedonia.

THIS IS THE HELLENIC SPIRIT
The hellenic flame
And when this flame reignites
it is impossible to put it out .
Only The Father, son, and holy spirit can put it out .
χριστος is the light, the flame
the holy flame .
400 years under Turkish rule
The italians had a go .
The Germans had a go .
The Bulgarians had a go .
And in the ancient world the hellene was in contant battle for her survival and freedom .
They all failed to wipe out the hellene . There are several reasons to why they all failed
but still they continue to make an attempt . This will be the last .
we shall leave it right there for now until that day arrives

This is so epic.
For the freedom, and glory, OF GREECE !
By the way Greece is an anachronism in his mouth. He would rather have said Hellad, or just Macedonia, since most of the warriors were macedonians.
Great scene anyway

“Your ancestors came to Macedonia and the rest of Hellas and did us great harm, though we had done them no prior injury. I have been appointed leader of the Greeks-“
- Alexander The Great
(From Alexander’s letter to Dairus lll of Persia)

Alexander didn’t say Macedonia AND Hellas, he said Macedonia AND THE REST OF Hellas. Showing that Macedonia (or rather Macedon) is part of Hellas. He only gave emphasis to Macedonia because the ancient kingdom of Macedon was his homeland. Hellas is the name the Ancient Greeks called their land, Modern Greece in Greek is called Hellada and its official name is the Helliniki Dimokratia (Hellenic Republic).

Plus, Alexander is a Greek name, he worshiped Greek gods, used Greek battle tactics, was born in an Ancient Greek kingdom. His teacher was also Aristotle (a Greek philosopher). Can it not be more clear that he was Greek?
