Macedonia was Greek, and its ruling family descended from the city of Argos.

Marseille & Nice (France) and Valencia (Spain) were also Greek colonies. The pillars of Hercules (Gibraltar) leading to Atlantis were also mentioned by Plato.

I'll make a follow up to this video on the Western Mediterranean colonies and the early history of Magna Graecia for you guys since there's a real demand.

This would make for an awesome scenario in a Civilization game. Start as one of the four Greek cultures and colonize your way around the eastern Mediterranean.

Epirus was Greek. It is the homeland of all the Dorian tribes, in addition to the southern and central Pindus mountain range. They always spoke a North-Western Greek dialect. They were not Hellenized. If you read Aristotle, it writes of Epirus as the ancient Hellas. No wonder, since there is where we find the most ancient Oracle of the Greek world, the one at Dodona. So many more things i could write.

Fantastic video man! You explained this complex subject really well. Cyrene is really interesting.

Did you intentionally leave the whole western mediterenean out of it?

Fantastic video man. Really enjoyed it

Wow!! Didn't know that the Grecian/Hellenistic influence in the Italian area was so early established - from other overviews I'd thought it just happened way later after the Roman Empire did their conquering of Greece. Really interesting breakdown, thank you! 👍
