Absolutely, Yes. Macedonians identified culturally and ethnically as Greeks whose ancestors migrated from Argos to the northern Greek peninsula hence the name of their royal house, the Argeads. Your ancestors came to Macedonia and the rest of Hellas and did us great harm, though we had done them no prior injury. I have been appointed leader of the Greeks, and wanting to punish the Persians I have come to Asia, which I took from you...

…"Macedon was a Greek speaking kingdom in northern Greece, populated by people using Greek names, Greek months of the year, worshipping Greek Gods…"
