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

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.”

appears to him so inconceivable that he considers it<br />

sufficient ground for rejecting the hypothesis of empty<br />

space. He 1<br />

goes on to say that if all bodies be composed<br />

of the same matter,<br />

they must all be heavy, and there<br />

would be nothing that was in itself light and <strong>by</strong> virtue<br />

of its own nature disposed to rise, but only some things<br />

that remain behind in the downward movement or are<br />

driven upwards <strong>by</strong> something else. Although it may<br />

be that of two bodies of equal size, the denser might<br />

be the heavier, nevertheless a great mass of air or<br />

fire would necessarily be heavier than a small quantity<br />

of earth or water. This, however, he thinks impossible,<br />

2 and he says it is manifest when we consider<br />

that certain bodies always tend upwards, rising quicker<br />

in proportion to the increase of bulk—a phenomenon<br />

which seems to Aristotle quite inexplicable on the hypothesis<br />

of absolute homogeneity in matter. If gravity<br />

be determined <strong>by</strong> bulk, then a greater mass of rarer material<br />

would be heavier than a small one of denser, and<br />

accordingly would move downwards. If, on the contrary,<br />

it is said that the more vacuum a body contains the lighter<br />
