The history of Macedonia has its roots in ancient times. It starts in ancient history and reaches through the centuries, full of brilliant, interesting pages of struggles, heroism, culture, action, disaster, victories and glory leading up to modern days.
The names Macedonia and Macedonian derived from the Doric word makos (meaning length) and stated that Macedonia is the country with the tall, long, people. Another name was Maketes and the country Maketia.According to mythology however, Macedonia took its name from Makedon or Makednos, who was the founder of the Macedonian people, which, according to some, was the son of Zeus and Thyias, while according to others, he was the son of the king of Arcadia Lycaon.The term Macedonia refers to the ancient kingdom of Macedonia of the Dorian Greeks. However, the term Macedonia as a geographical and political entity, was completed during the classical ages.


Macedonia enters the history of Greece with the son of Amyntas, Alexander I '(498-454), known as Philhellene (= patriot), which was quite active, smart and energetic and put the military and political foundations of the Macedonian state in place.
During the Medic wars, he collaborated with the Athenians, who he helped greatlyIn term, they honored him, giving him the title of philhellene (= patriot) and having a 'golden statue of him erected at Delphi. All subsequent kings of Macedonia contributed to their country’s steady rise. The subsequent days of glory of Alexander the Great were not random and sudden. All the kings before Alexander contributed to the building of the great Macedonia and Greece.

Τhe one who organized Macedonia as a state of the modern era and laid the foundations of Magna Grecia was Philip II (357-336 BC). Macedonia dominated the greek area, uniting under his rule the other Greek city-states and all Greeks connecting the fate of the people of this corner of Europe. He prepared the first Greek Federation. He prepared the situation and gave a strong, vigorous Macedonia to his son, Alexander the Grande or the Great (336-323 BC), who as head of a disciplined army and thanks to the objective conditions prevailing at that time and subjective possibilities created by his prowess, both military and political, managed to conquer the dominant Persian empire and half of the known world. Macedonia became the heart and mind of the Hellenistic period.

The kingdom of Macedonia soon lost control of the vast Asian land, but retained its hegemony in Greece until it was defeated by the Romans in the Macedonian Wars (215-148 BC). Then comes the Roman occupation and Macedonia passes on to the period of its declinel. In the coming years, its fate becomes linked to the history of the Byzantine Empire.The first step towards Byzantium becomes the transfer, from Galerius, of his seat to Thessaloniki in 306 AD, becoming the second after Constantinople (capital of the Roman Empire from 324 AD), city of the Roman Empire and plays an important role in the political life of the country.
