I bet this material can already be found online. Here's a fragment by Marsyas and other material about him
Μακεδών ὁ Διός καὶ Αἰθρίας [sic] κατασχών τὴν χώραν οὖσαν τῆς Θράκης αφ΄ἑαυτοῦ Μακεδονίαν προσηγόρευσεν. Γῆμας δὲ μία των ἐγχωρίων τεκνοῦται δύο παίδας Πίερον καὶ Ἄμαθον ἀφ΄ὦν δύο πόλεις [sic] Πιερία καὶ Ἀμαθία ἐν Μακεδονίᾳ. Ἡ ἱστορία παρὰ Μαρσύᾳ.
(Schol. Hom. Il. XIV,226)
i.e.
Macedon, son of Zeus and Aethria occupied a land of Thrace that he called Macedonia after himself. Taking one local woman he had two sons, Pieros and Amathos, of whom the two cities Pieria and Amathia in Macedonia.
