Worthington Quote

Can someone double check the Ian Worthington quote "Not much is to be said about the Greekness of Macedonians: it is undeniable". I can't for the life of me find that quote in his book Philip II. I can find "There is enough evidence and reasoned theory to conclude that the Macedonians were Greek" on p.219, but not the former. 2A02:6B67:7917:0:C8F1:C995:AF34:FB67 (talk) 17:23, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Really. They is no historical evidence of a country called Greece (Hellas or Ellada, whatever you want to call it) before 1821. There is also no historical evidence of such people called Greek before 1821. The koine language was simply called Koine and not Koine Greek as the so called Greeks of today call it. This page is just full of propaganda. You also fail to mention that your first Bavarian king Otto came to Athena where the majority of the people in Athens spoke Albanian (Arvanites ) 14.201.79.60 (talk) 05:07, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have to say Wikipedia is just full of propaganda articles like this one. An ethnic group that conquered Thrace, Epirus Archaia etc. ohhh they didn't conquer Greece because there was no such country. But you will respond with some crap like ancient city states of Ancient Greece. <— yet no Ancient Greece country existed lol. You don't make sense at all. 14.201.79.60 (talk) 05:09, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Greek stock", "racially Greek"

These phrases—in quotations from scholars, no less—jump out at me. Is that what this is really about? Srnec (talk) 01:39, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
