Macedonia
Macedonia pertains to the Greek history and culture for 4000 years.
Around the middle of the 4th century BC Macedonia became the leading
power of the Greek World thanks to King Philip II, who declared himself
the Leader of a Greek Confederacy. His dream of a Pan-Hellenic expedition
against the Persians was destined to come true by his son, Alexander
the Great, who took his army to the banks of Indus River. Greek art
is thus expanded to the depths of East and is assimilated by local
populations along with the memory of Alexander. The Great King shall
survive through legends until the Middle Ages and the European Renaissance.
