Alexandre the Great!?

Of course Greek or to be more presice its Dorian Dialect asit is evident for the very name Macedonians which means tall (men) and it is originated by the word macos ( dorian variant of the attic mikos ,windth, but also occasionely height) The principal diferncebetewn dorianand attic was the substitution of the i in attic for a in Dorian, otter examples include Leonidas (attic) for Lanidas (Dorian) and tis (shield in attic) for tas (Dorian) so thefamous frase would be in attic " i tin i epi tis"

Ancient Greek?

I think most people celebrate historical figures from their own culture/religion. I'm not a Greek, and I don't know anyone who worships Alexander the Great, so that's probably why we don't remember his death day as we do, say, Jesus or Guy Fawkes. Still, kinda cool to find out this is the 2330 anniversary of his death. What would he make of today's world?

Alexander the Great, during his war against Persia in the fourth century B.C.E., came to Jerusalem, where the priests showed him a copy of the book of Daniel. Alexander himself concluded that the words of Daniel’s prophecy that were pointed out to him referred to his own military campaign involving Persia. The book of Daniel must have been written in Hebrew so there Alexander could read it too.

Yes, you are correct!

It is 2330 years the world have lost one of her greatest persons!

He spread the Greek civilization South and East!

He spoke Greek, and this is what all historians agree with!

He was unique, He had:

Father, one of the greatest general, he "invented" what we now know as "army" and strategies, in peace and war!

Mother, the high priestess of the Kavyrean mysteries

Mentor, Aristotle

Friends, including Nearchos from Crete, who was the Admiral in the sea as Aelxandre himself was the general on land!

As a member of the Argead dynasty of ancient Macedonia, I imagine he spoke Attic Greek at home and in town and Ancient Macedonian (akin to Phrygian, heavily influenced by Greek, Thracian, and Illyrian) amongst the rank and file of his army.

Since his mother was an Epirote princess, I imagine he might have spoken Epirote, as well.

Thank you!

He knew Greek!

He was reading the Iliad, as all Greeks for many centuries!

Alexander was Greek, and therefore he spoke Greek. (p.s. Makedonia is Greek---always was and always will be.)
