In my internet ventures
both in newsgroups and web-sites, I have encountered so many oddities and well
entrenched or 'popular'/repeated misconceptions...
May this collection and
quick reference-table of updated & comprehensive eponymous specialist
entries be my own contribution to public education in the net, addressing some
of the most 'persistent' issues.
Antiquity: The Area,
History, Religion, Language, Philip II, Alexander the Great, Hellenistic
Colonization (entries of the Oxford Classical
Dictionary of 1996)
Byzantine Times: History & the Issue of Terminology, 'Macedonian' Dynasty, Tsar
Samuil, Two brothers 'Apostles to the Slavs',
The Concept of Hellenism (entries of the Oxford Dictionary of Byzantium of 1991)
Ottoman Period and
Modern Era: The Area, The Peoples, Establishment of the Exarchate, Nationalities and the issue of a separate 'macedonian'
identity up to the end of WWI, WWII, Ethnogenesis in (former) S.Yugoslavia, Linguistics: Bulgarian & Macedonian .
Other facilities: index of additional
entries and ASCII-maps, sources from
antiquity, sources from medieval/byzantine times, sources from modern times (all under
constant construction) .
