In the end they will tell us they were Aryan Hyberborean Atlantean super beings who settled in Macedonia and invaded the East just like the Nazis said they themselves were...



Get a Life FYROV and face it, we are going to get Italy revenge for what you barbarians did to her!

If you are so intreseted about the Macedonians and the Spartans now heres what their relationship was like:

Map of Peloponnesian war factions

1) Allies during the second Peloponnesian War against Athens, Spartans attacked from the South, Macedonians, with the aid of Helots from Sparta attacked the North in Thessaly.


2) During Phillips and Alexanders unification of Greece, Sparta was the only city state which refused to join the league of Greek (headed and created by Phillip II) under the condition that if it were to be in a unified coalition of Greeks, it was to lead them as had been the case in the Persian War.

Phillip, annoyed by this sent a letter of blackmail to the Spartans stating:'If I enter Laconia, Sparta will be razed to the ground'

to which the Spartan King replie😛 'If.'


King Agis III, the doomed Spartan King

Alexander himself also attempted to force the Spartans to join the league of Corinth by boasting about Greek conquests in Asia minor when he brought 300 pieces of Persian armour to Athens and state😛

"Alexander, son of Philip, and all the Greeks except the Spartans, give these offerings taken from the foreigners who live in Asia"

Despite all this, the Macedonians never attacked Sparta, although they did engage the Spartans when the Spartans attacked Megalopolis, a Macedonian ally (which resulted in the heroic death of the Spartan King Agis III) and the Spartans never joined the league and Alexanders conquests directly...

3) In 272 Bc, Cleonymus a Prince of Sparta who wanted to be King approached Pyyrhus King of Epirus, who had made a successful but costly campaign against the Romans in Sicily. Cleonymus asked for Pyyrhus to help him be restored to the throne in exchange for Sparta's allegiance to him, Pyyrhus accepted and marched an army of 26,000 men and 24 elephants for Sparta, which had no wall and had their King Areus I with the main army of 2000 Spartans distracted in Crete, dealing with the pirates.


Siege of Sparta

On Pyyrhus way to Sparta, he declared war on the Macedon King Antigonas II Gonatas and ravaged through Macedon and Thessaly gaining much control of the territory. The Macedonians who did not submit to Pyyrhus retreated south, many of whom joined in the resistance of Sparta. Pyyrhus laid siege to Sparta but was forced to desert his campaign when King Areus I arrived with 2000 Spartans and Corithian reinforcements. Pyyrhus then attempted to siege Argos but was Killed in battle, freeing Macedon and Thessaly from Epirote rule...

Thats the history lesson...

Of course some Skopians also like to claim that Pyyrhus was also a Macedonian and therefore in their minds "one of them" (although Pyyrhus did have Macedonian ancestry being Alexanders cousins son but not fully) which makes no sense as he killed Macedonians if we to use Skopian logic in the argument that when Alexander unified Greece he killed Greeks hence "not greek" xD.

Anyway enjoy the Greek glory at the notion of being outnumbered by many dear Skopians, but remember its not your glory:
