    Even in Homer's 'Iliad' there is nobody that fought on the Greek side that came north of Thessaly, not that I can recall anyway. In fact, the Paeonian people that inhabited the Axios (Vardar) river, which would eventually become Macedonia, fought for the Trojans, as did the Thracians.

      This is all true
      The northmen fought for Troy according to Homer.
      I know the Illiad well, and you are spot on.

      Chalkidiki was a major 'hotspot' during the Pelloponesian wars between Athens an Sparta though, with the Athenians eventually winning the territory...

        It is probably one place above all that received many colonists from Greece back in the ancient era, Thucydides talks about the people of the area speaking both Greek and their native tongues.

          Yes, I found it in a wikipedia discussion. The discussion was about the fake picture...
