Summary: Monumental Work
Comment: Although incomplete since it does not include Epirus and Macedonia this book is an excellent, detailed, monumental work on Greek History and Literature. It's a piece of art. I don't think that another author could include so much of the ancient greek knowledge in a book, and that's the reason I forgive Hammond's region-limited view. The price may seem high, yet I recommend it to anyone *really* interested to ancient history.

Summary: Greek Denial of the Macedonian Name
Comment: The most important thing to remember about the "Macedonian conflict" is that the Greek position has changed dramatically over the past decade. Official Greek government policy was that Macedonia did not exist. When Greece took over Aegean Macedonia in 1913, they killed, tortured and ethnically cleansed hundreds of thousands of Macedonians. They changed the names of people, villages, and landmarks from Macedonian to Greek in their attempts to eradicate the Macedonian name.

Two things to remember:

1. It is ironic that Greeks now "love Macedonia" when they tried to eradicate its very existence.

2. If Macedonia has always been Greek, why did the Greek government deny its existence until the 1980's?
