Forms of names which are familiar from older translations are often being replaced by more phonetically correct versions. The Latin ending -us was used instead of the Greek -os, and the ending -dros has been replaced by -der (Alexander for Alexandros) since medieval times and the hard 'k' sound has conventionally been written, and sometimes pronounced, as 'c' (Thucydides for Thukydides). Where a consonant preceded it, the -os ending was quite often dropped (Philip for Philippos). The final 's' was not pronounced in names such as Krateros, hence the confusion over Alexander the Great's dying words - did he leave his kingdom to Kratero, his trusted soldier, or to 'kratisto', the strongest? The final -n is also dropped in some cases (Phaedo for Phaidon).

Macedon

In ancient times, this was a much larger area than modern Macedonia, stretching from the eastern Adriatic Coast to Epirus in the west. To the north, it was bordered by Moesia, to the south with Thessaly, to the east with Thrace with a narrow coastal strip reaching to the Hellespont. The original inhabitants were probably Germano-Celtic but after centuries of invasion they became mingled with people of Thracian, Illyrian and Dorian Greek origin.

The area had been divided into several small nations which were rarely at peace with each other but was united under one king by the mid C4th BC. Philip II and his son Alexander III (the Great) conquered a huge empire and spread Hellenic culture throughout the Mediterranean and Asia.
