I can't be bothered to check the link, but I'll bet it has something to do with Macedonians.

MarkG, just because the most successful Greek in history wasn't actually Greek doesn't mean you should get your panties in a bunch.

Well the Macedonians are obviously not greeks, says here they're seen by real greeks as barbarians.

just because it's called "history tv", it doesnt mean they know what they're talking about

if a future historian took a single piece of text in mind he could characterize lots of americans as unpatriotic and traitors

Nah. They're a genetically slavic people basically analogous to today's Macedonians, who borrowed greek culture and language and created cruder, simpler copies. Kinda like a cargo cult.

Well, I couldn't be bothered to do the whole quiz, but I'll assume the biggest problem you have is with calling AtG a Macedonian and not Greek. Trouble is, that's true. During the time of AtG, there was no "Greece" as it's known today. If you wanted to make your poll in the slightest bit accurate, you would have to ask what nationality people living in what is called Ontario today were 200 years ago. The answer then would likely be British or Native Indian.

It's just that Greeks want to take credit for the exploits of someone who isn't Greek. Kinda like France with Napoleon.

Just demonstrating that while Napoleon could present at least a semi-convincing case for being French, and took over France in an internal revolution, Alexander had to conquer the greeks.

political separations of ancient greece (e.g. the autonomous greek city-states) should not be confused with the cultural unity of the ancient greek people (language, customs, religion, etc etc)

quote: If you wanted to make your poll in the slightest bit accurate

my poll was an atempt to joke on History TV, not to be something accurate.... last time i checked there was never an "Ontarian" nationality....

Man, how sad to have one's sense of national pride hinge on one person who died 2300 years ago who isn't even of the same nationality.
