Bigger in size , Macedonia was situated to the northwest of Hellas as a united country ruled by a sole king . Macedonia was famous for its good quality wood so , the
Greeks
imported wood from there to build ships and as a result Macedonia was the only foreign country invited to the Olympic Games . The Macedonian people spoke a different accent of the Greek language never considering themselves Greeks and the Greeks never considered them Greeks because they were less cultured and civilized than the Greeks . Macedonia was also less developed than Hellas . However , the first Macedonian family claimed itself of Greek origin but the Greeks refused such a claim , so the first known Macedonian king (Alexander) claimed that he was a descendant of god Zeus .
