Beware of Greeks bearing miffs.

I believe even the ancient Greek historians referred to him as Alexander of Macedonia.

Old world BS. Neither side has a functioning society and they are arguing about someone from 2400 years ago.
For extra fun, those people there today probably have nothing to do the Greeks of that era.
Same for Egyptians today claiming they built the pyramids.
Different peoples live in Egypt and Greece than did back then.
Europe and the north african nations have had so much population upheaval in the last 2000-1500 years that its the height of jackassery to claim that because you are an Egyptian, you made the pyramids, or that because you are Greek today, that Alexander, Socrates, or any of the old guys are your forebearers.

Macedonia Ready to Give up Claims on Alexander the Great

So Alex is going to become a free agent? I realize he's getting up in age but his on field leadership is unequaled.........How about offering him a coaching job?

Modern day Macedonians have about as much a claim to the heritage of Alexander the Great as I do.
