"When did Macedonian Greeks first appear in history?"

The Greeks in Macedonia first appeared in history in the ancient Greek period in the middle of the 7th century BC. According to Herodotus, Macedonians and Dorians refer to the same people, the Greeks:

Hearing these words, Chloe was happier than anyone else, because he believed that mules ruled the Medes, not people, so he and his heirs would never stop their rule. After that, he thought that we should respect the most powerful people among the Greeks and make friends with them. After investigation, he found that Rasdimons and Athenians were the most outstanding, and they were the best among Dorians and other Ionians. Because these two nationalities are the most outstanding in ancient times, the second is the Ji 'an nationality in Pelaz, and the first is the Greek nationality. One has never moved in any direction from his own place, while the other likes wandering very much.

Because during the reign of deucalion, this (Greek) race lived in Piotis, and during the reign of Helen's son Dorothy, it lived in the land under Ossa and Olympus, and was called Otis in Sister; When it was driven out of Histiaiotis by Cadmus's son, it lived in Pindos and was called McDonia; Later, it spread from there to Dre pius, and finally from Dre Pius to the Peloponnesus, and it began to be called Dorian. (The History of Herodotus, by Herodotus,1.56.2,3)

After the end of the Bronze Age, another batch of immigrants entered the Greek Peninsula. Modern scholars call these peoples "Western Greeks", and one of the most important components is Dorian, who comes from the rugged Pindos Mountains in the northwest of the Greek Peninsula. However, Pindos, which has almost no arable land, cannot support the growing population, and the land in the south can no longer accept immigrants from the north.

Important western Greek elements remain in Bindo. These people were called "Macdenon" by Herodotus, and they gradually moved to the northeast, crossed the Pindos Mountains and entered the area that was later called "Upper Macedonia". About 700 years ago, we found that Macedonian tribes occupied the eastern slope of Pindos. "(Harry Eddell, A Study of Ancient Macedonia in Memory of Charles Edersen, p. 27).

"First of all, hesiod made Macedonia Magnus's brother; We know from the inscriptions that Magnus Teutons speak Greek Early dialect, and we tend to think that Macedonians speak Early dialect. Secondly, hesiod made Helen's three sons Dorothy, Sussas and Macedon and Magnis of Horace cousins. They were the founders of three Greek dialects, namely Dorian, Ionian and Horace. Hesiod will not record this relationship unless he thinks that in the 7th century, Macedonians were a Greek-speaking people.
