Macedonia Greece
Macedonia pertains to the Greek history and culture for 4000 years. Around the middle of the 4th century RC. 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 Indos 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.
