Hello,
This is a topic that has always blurred my thoughts because I always ask myself and never knew the answer. If any of you is Macedonian or Greek or knowledgeable in the matter answer please
.
Ok..
1. I check Macedonia states nowadays and they all have NON-greek (slavic?) names such as: Kočani, Radoviš, Kumanovo, Štip, Skopje, Bitola etc etc etc. Then I check Greece and they have states names as: Thessaloniki,Heraklion etc etc. Greek names.
Did Ancient Macedonia during the Phillip Era have non-greek names like those above? or did it have Greek-like Names in ancient times and were changed later on? I'm confused because Macedonia was highly involved with greeks and spoke Greek and now they have non-greek names in their mainland?
Thank you!
