I'm sure there are a few Greek historical figures that even the uninitiated could remember. I'm no expert by any means, but even I know more than just a few famous Egyptian names. [also, the Greeks controlled Egypt for a while, so Hephaistion's study of military history had given him an excuse to look it up. But, in conclusion, he shrugs. He'll back off in the spirit of the holiday] But I know not everyone cares about that kinda thing. I just pay attention to stuff like that. It's fun.

[and in explanation] Macedonia was its own country once. Now most of it is a region of northern Greece
