“Can someone please explain to me why the FYROMers don’t want the term Paeonians for them selves and Republic of Paeonia or simply Paeonia for they country ?”

First, let me get one thing straight -- I am a philhellene. Having studied Hellenic history for several decades and having studied the language for four years at a university, I believe I have some credibility to speak on the issue.

I agree with Αιγίδιον Μακεδονίδος. Paionia (or Paeonia) is a perfectly good name for FYROM. Look on any historical atlas and you will see that name right in the middle of where modern FYROM is today. I am not sure if the Greek negotiators (at the UN-sponsored talks about the name issue) ever proposed Paionia as a possible name. Why not? -- It has a nice sound to it; it does have its own ancient (though limited) history and its own line of rulers (please refer to Wikipedia on this one).

Unfortunately, because some nations have recognized FYROM as the “RoM”, they probably now believe that if they wait long enough the rest of the world will come around to their position.

Oh, and while I am at it, I personally apologize to the rest of the world for that incompetent dunce who calls himself the U.S. President for these last eight years. Growing up in this country, I have come to learn that U.S. foreign policy does not necessarily support those who are in the right. During the Cold War, the U.S. willingly supported several repressive regimes on the sole reason that they declared themselves to be anti-communist. But, now, U.S. foreign policy has changed -- it now favors just stability and often at the expense of those who are in the right. Therefore, it has rewarded FYROM for its “significant” contribution to the Iraqi War (I believe they contributed all of 70 troops) by recognizing it as the “RoM”. Talk about endangering a long-term friendship for a short-term whim! Please, do not be misled -- the U.S. is not as altruistic as it constantly trumpets to the rest of the world -- and I live here!

Edessa says:

The right question is… who are YOU to steal a Greek name and want to use it for yourself? Your people are Slavs having NOTHING to do with ancient Greek people. Better finally to wake up!!

Αιγίδιον Μακεδονίδος says:

oooo And another thing ..How else could the Aelophons Magnetes be considered “brothers” of the North-Western Greek speakers Macedonians by Hesiod and in his statements of the greek mythology and the suns of Deukalion ?? I think if they don’t speak the same dialect of greek the only other reason to be “brothers” in mythology ..the first attempt of classification , is that Macedonians and Magnetes lived in the some zone for a certain period and then the Magnetes were driven away.

Αιγίδιον Μακεδονίδος says:

Homer knows the regions Emathia e Pieria even if in his time Emathia was Bottiea and inhabited by Bottians who were Minoan Colonists from Crete that probably spoke e pre-Greek language and came to the region near 1400 B.C. when the Acheans invaded Minoan Crete and Pieria was inhabited by Thracians . Macedonians in this period were located at the upper Haliakmon river as “Maketae” or “Makedni”. Nevertheless the names Emathia , Pieria and the near Mygdonia (which before the Macedonians conquered it was inhabitated by Thracians and Paeonians) are names that safely derive fron greek since Emathia means “sandy” (ημαθόεν) , Pieria means rich/fertile/well chosen (Πῖαρ) and Mygdonia means region of the gulf (Μυχός γδων). What I’m asking for is it possible that before the Macedonian arrival in the coastal zones of the Thermaic golf there were other greek tribes that named these territories and were driven away by Thracians , Paeonians , Teucrians and Mysians , Troian Allies that invated towards west ?
«…ἐσβαλόντες …τὸν Μυσῶν τε καὶ Τευκρῶν τὸν πρὸ τῶν Τρωικῶν γενόμενον , οἵ διαβάντες ἐς τὴν Εὐρώπην κατὰ Βόσπορον τούς τε Θρήικας κατεστρέψαντο πάντας καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰόνιον πόντον κατέβησαν μέχρι τε Πηνειοῦ ποταμοῦ τὸ πρὸς μεσαμβρίης ἤλασαν.»
(Herodotus 7.20.2)
Could these greek tribes that were driven away be the Aelophones Magnetes that finished south of the Penius river and could they initialy finished in the Thermaic Gulf region as colonists of the Mycenean Centers that were congestioned end made large scale colonizations to decongest during the 1300 BC period when they colonized Crete , Aegian , Cyprus and continental Greece??
How else could these regions have greek names before the arrival of the Macedons ???

Αιγίδιον Μακεδονίδος says:

Can someone please explain to me why the FYROMers don’t want the term Paeonians for them selves and Republic of Paeonia or simply Paeonia for they country ? If we look the geography in ancient times the biggest part of their state was Paeonian territory and only a little part (Pelagonia) was Macedonian and another little part was Illyrian. Furthermore , from what I know until now ,Pelagonia was inhabitated by Molossian tribes that spoke the North Western Greek dialect and lately , as all the other Molossian tribes of the upper Macedonia, were annexed politicaly by the Macedonians of the lower Macedonia or the Old Macedonian Kingdom .Paeonia from the other hand was simple a vassal state to Macedonia that was never politicaly annexed and the proof of that is that Paeonians and other vassaled state citizens never entered the Macedonian Phalanx ,but were independent units more auxiliary . In Hammonds History of Macedonia I read that in Philip’s times one could obtain the name “Macedonian” if he was a part of the regal forces Cavalry or Phalanx and in the Macedonian Phalanx there were only greek-speaking soldiers and further more before Philip , the king’s “hypaspistes” then said “pezeteroi” were only from the old kingdom and the only ones that spoke the Macedonian dialect. Correct me if I’m wrong , but from what I’ve understand the only ones who spoke the Macedonian dialect were the inhabitants of the Old Kingdon in lower or coastal Macedonia (Pieria , Emathia , Bottiea ,Almopia , oriental Eordea)
and those derive from a more little area of the Old Kingdom that Herodotus (7.131) names it Makedonis with northern borders in the union between Haliakmon and Loudias rivers :
«…μέχρι Λυδίεώ τε ποταμοῦ καὶ Αλιάκμονος , οἵ οὐρίζουσι γῆν τὴν Βοττιαιίδα τε καὶ Μακεδονίδα , ἐς τὠυτὸ ῥέεθρον τὸ ὕδωρ συμμίσγοντες»
Herodotus also knows the mountain of “Μακεδονίς Γῆ” like Macedonian Mounain , today named Pierian in (7.127) :
«…Περὶ Πιερίην …ὄρος τὸ Μακεδονικὸν…»
Can someone explain to me how that population can be related with the Paeonians when among the two there were the Bottieans that claimed to be Minoan colonists from Crete ??
