Another example is David Nasmyth who, in the book Who was Alexander the Great? writes "Alexander the Great became King of Macedonia, the most powerful state in Greece, in 336 BC." Janko says Nasmyth is ‘ill-informed" and makes fun of this statement by saying Nasmyth could have written that "Alexander the Great became King of Macedonia - the most powerful state in Yugoslavia, in 336 BC" or "Alexander the Great became King of Macedonia - the most powerful state in the Ottoman Empire, in 336 BC." Yugoslavia and Bulgaria both ruled Macedonia but much later, and the same happened with Greece, which became a state in the nineteenth century.
