Hi Yiannis!I appreciate the links, but your right, not much info there. Thanks anyway :)Cheers!

In appreciation to anyone that might be able to lead me in direction of studies completed on Pella and Lake Loudias. Always wondered if any geological study had been performed to confirm the existance of the Lake. I have no doubt the Lake existed, just if any studies had come about on the subject. I...

I still don't see how Attalus' comments go beyond what I've said?

Hi all,the illegitamcy Attalus refers too, relates to all Philips prior wives not comming from Macedon proper, albeit the existance of a wife from Elimiotis., which then makes us wonder what the old kingdom thought of the cantonal Makedones!At least thats how I've always read it.just my thoughts.Che...

I'v posed this question elsewhere, but most curious to hear what people on this forum thought!
If Alexander were approached by an Epirot, and asked him was he an Epirot, what would be his response and why?
In appreciation to anyone that may reply!Cheers!

Hi Alex,I'm curious,do you have a ranking system for contemorary society? and if so, which would be in your top 10 and how you adjudicated them.just curious.
Cheers!

I guess mothers have sons, and sons become kings!How acknowledging a prince's maternal background would jeopardise his position as direct heir, I don't know; if anything, I would imagine it enhanced his prospects by indicating to the powers that be, he could muster up additional forces in times of w...

Let me propose this to you. If you asked Alexander if he were a Greek, his response would be "Absolutely"!- would be a fair response if he were being asked by a Greek. Had he been asked by a Thracian, was he a Thracian, or an Illyrian, was he an Illyrian, I have no doubt he would have resp...

Tre ,Firstly allow me to apologize for my over reaction to your post; it was wrong of me to do so and I am sorry. You, as we all, are entitled to our opinions.Secondly, I would like to affirm I have no political agenda and participate in the subject matter on a strictly academic level. I would be eq...

Wow!!!!Some heavy duty statements there Tre!I normaly would sit out on this issue of ethnicity amongst the Makedones and Hellenes, but to suggest, or rather make a 'as a matter of fact' remark like the Makedones considered themselves as Greeks simply isn't so! I don't know what books you use for you...

Hi Linda, I thought the site was quite good and gives a fairly good general overview of Illyrian scolarship. I guess as with all things, we need to address the sources from which the information was attained for a better and deeper understanding. It's bibliography is quite good and valuable to those...

Wheteher he was behind it or not, he sure had a lot to gain from it; he became King! The period leading up to the assasination of Philip proved to be rather volatile between father and son!If i were a betting man, I'd go for the guilty verdict!, but then again, I'm pretty firm on the idea Antipater ...

Regarding the grooming of a successor, perhaps we are not seeing things as we ought. The problem was, that there were too many people groomed for the job. Being so used to the line of Argeads, I think we emotionally brainwash ourselves into believing no worthy successor was available after ATG's dea...
