摘要

ALEXANDER THE GREAT is off to the dump. If the authorities in Skopje, the capital of North Macedonia, have their way, statues and monuments glorifying him, his father Philip Ⅱ and other ancient, mythical and more modern Macedonians around the city will soon be yanked off their pedestals and dispatched to a distant park on a reclaimed rubbish tip. Skopje was refurbished by the previous city authorities, who lost power in 2017. Oneaim of their €685m ($765m) renovation project was to instil pride in an antique Macedonian past centring on Alexander, the general who created an empire stretching as far east as Pakistan by the age of 30. But Greeks regard Alexander as wholly theirs, and reckon that Skopje's claim to him is absurd. The territory now occupied by North Macedonia was not, they argue, even part of the ancient kingdom of Macedonia (the Romans added it to their province of that name later on.) By claiming him, North Macedonia poisoned relations with Greece, the regional economic hegemon.
