ARISTOTLE AND THE EARLIER PERIPATETICS vol.I by Eduard Zeller, B.F.C.Costelloe 1897

MACEDONIA is GREECE and will always be GREECE- (if they are desperate to steal a name, Monkeydonkeys suits them just fine) ΚΑΤΩ ΤΟ ΠΡΟΔΟΤΙΚΟ "ΣΥΝΤΑΓΜΑΤΙΚΟ ΤΟΞΟ"!!! Strabo – “Geography” “There remain of Europe, first, Macedonia and the parts of Thrace that are contiguous to it and extend as far as Byzantium; secondly, Greece; and thirdly, the islands that are close by. Macedonia, of course, is a part of Greece, yet now, since I am following the nature and shape of the places geographically, I have decided to classify it apart from the rest of Greece and to join it with that part of Thrace which borders on it and extends as far as the mouth of the Euxine and the Propontis. Then, a little further on, Strabo mentions Cypsela and the Hebrus River, and also describes a sort of parallelogram in which the whole of Macedonia lies.” (Strab. 7.fragments.9) ΚΚΕ, ΚΝΕ, ΟΝΝΕΔ, ΑΓΟΡΑ,ΕΚΚΛΗΣΙΑ,ΝΕΑ,ΦΩΝΗ,ΦΕΚ,ΝΟΜΟΣ,LIFO,MACEDONIA, ALEXANDER, GREECE,IKEA

<strong>THE</strong> LIFE OF ARISg'OTLE 23<br />

had less distinct testimony as to the respect of the great<br />

pupil for his teacher, and as to the love of learning<br />

which the philosopher imparted to the king. 1<br />

Alexander<br />

was not only the invincible conqueror, but also a farseeing<br />

ruler, ripe beyond his years. He was ambitious<br />

to<br />

establish the supremacy, not of Grecian arms only,<br />

but also of the Hellenic culture. He withstood for<br />

years the greatest<br />

In spite of his later<br />

errors, he still stands far above all other world-conquerors<br />

in nobility of spirit, in purity of morals, in love<br />

of humanity, and in personal culture. And for all this<br />

the world has in no small degree to thank the tutor who<br />

position gave him, for we hear that he interceded with<br />

the king for individuals and even for whole cities. 3<br />
