| ARTICLES RELATED TO Macedonia (region) | | | |  Macedonia (region): Encyclopedia II - Macedon - Hellenic controversyThe controversy whether or not ancient Macedonia should be considered a Hellenic state is addressed variously: based on ancient sources, and on linguistic evidence. Neither approach is conclusive, Herodotus seems to assert that the Macedonian aristocracy was of Achaean origin while Macedonian people were of Dorian stock. Linguistics seems to point inconclusively to either Macedonian as an archaic form of Greek, Macedonian as part of a Graeco-Macedonian subfamily of Indo-European, or Macedonian as an in ...

| | | | Macedonia (region): Encyclopedia II - Macedonia Greece - Demography The demographic history of the region of Macedonia is characterized by uncertainty both about numbers and identification. Hugh Poulton, in his Who Are the Macedonians, notes "assessing population figures is problematic"[1] for the territory of Greek Macedonia before its re-incorporation into Greece in 1912. Poulton cites two sources, the "detailed"[1] Todor Simovksi, a Yugoslavian ...

| | | | Macedonia (region): Encyclopedia II - Macedon - Expansion Under Philip II, (359-336 BC), Macedon expanded into the territory of the Paionians, Thracians, and Illyrians. This brought into its orbit the Monastir (now Bitola) and Gevgelija districts of what is now the Republic of Macedonia.
Macedon became more politically involved with the south-central city-states of Ancient Greece, but it also retained more archaic features like the palace-culture, first at Aegae (modern Vergina) then at Pella, resembling Mycenaean culture more than classic Hellenic city-states, and other archaic customs, like Philip's multiple wives in addition to his Epirote ...

| | | | Macedonia (region): Encyclopedia II - Macedon - Language See main article: Ancient Macedonian language.
The language spoken by the area's inhabitants prior to the 5th century BC, and continued into the early centuries of the Common Era by the rural population, is attested in some hundred words from various glosses (mainly those of Hesychius of Alexandria, 5th century AD), as well as placenames and personal names. The majority of these words can be confidently identified as Greek, and the language was either closely related to Greek, or perhaps even a dialect of Greek. There are words, however, that are not easily identifiable as Greek, a number of which for example show voiced stops ...

| | | | Macedonia (region): Encyclopedia II - Macedon - Early history The first Macedonian state emerged 8th or early 7th century BC under the Argead Dynasty, when the Macedonians are said to have migrated to the region from further west. Their first king is recorded as Perdiccas I. Around the time of Alexander I of Macedon, the Macedonians started to expand into Eordaia, Bottiaea, Pieria, Mygdonia, and Almopia. Near the modern city of Edessa, Perdiccas I (or, more likely, his son, Argaeus I) b ...
