"For I (Alexander I) myself am by ancient descent a Greek, and I would not willingly see Hellas change her freedom for slavery."

(Herod. IX, 45, 2 [Loeb])

Yet another one.

He proclaimed himself a Greek to try and make the conquest easier, but most Greeks thought him a barbarian until he raped their asses...

[VetLegion]

Trapiste is probably a paiktis DL!

[VetLegion]

Be a man paiktis and admit it! I can see right through your funny little typically balkan tricks

"How highly should we honor the Macedonians, who for the greater part of their lives never cease from fighting with the barbarians for the sake of the security of Greece? For who is not aware that Greece would have constantly stood in the greater danger, had we not been fenced by the Macedonians and the honorable ambition of their kings?"

(Pol. Hist., IX, 35, 2 [Loeb])

" ... all men will be grateful to you: the Hellenes for your kindness to them and the rest of the nations, if by your hands they are delivered from barbaric despotism and are brought under the protection of Hellas."

(Isoc., To Philip, 154 [Loeb])

I like this.

"And she conceived and bore to Zeus, who delights in the thunderbolt, two sons, Magnes and Macedon, rejoicing in horses, who dwell round about Pieria and Olympus."

(Hesiod, Catalogues of Women and Eoiae 3 [Loeb, H.G. Evelyn-White])

Sorry trapiste, we don't discuss serious history with DLs.

And also since you are a DL Greece has once vote less and that vote is attributed to Croatia since I debunked you and I choose so

and more and more list is endless.

"This is a sworn treaty made between us, Hannibal ... and Xenophanes the Athenian ... in the presence of all the gods who possess Macedonia and the rest of Greece."

(Pol. Histories, VII, 9, 4 [Loeb, W.R. Paton])

FYROMIAN love

[KrazyHorse]

No Greek can resist bragging about other countries' history.

[VetLegion]

look at him, busted, but still doing the act

Post under your real nickname you shameless cheater

And if by any chance Greece wins in this poll it will be because of shameless techniques like making a DL just to fake one vote more

Hilarious really, "look, it's an internet poll and we must win!"

[Ming]

He won't be posting under his new name again...

[VetLegion]

Well, it could have flown if he decided to restrain himself only to doublevoting on the poll, but no, he had to post too, so I guess it was destined to be caught on the radar of the Authorities


You can't fix the poll though, can you?

[KrazyHorse]

Busted!
