A Lecture on Alexander the Great with Prof. Michael Keathly

On January 7, 1992, the Canadian Macedonian Historical Society (CMHS) hosted an inaugural lecture series featuring Professor Michael Keathly, whose archaeological presentation emphasized the distinct cultural identity and "radiance" of ancient Macedonia through a detailed analysis of its art and artifacts. The event was introduced by Dr. Lillian Petroff, who framed the evening as a vital intellectual exercise for the community's future, while Chris Paliare provided a contemporary context by chronicling the civil liberties struggle surrounding the wreath-laying ceremony at the Alexander the Great statue on Toronto’s Danforth. Complementing these views, Tom Yaneff offered a unique historical perspective by linking the spread of Christianity to the Macedonian-influenced Koine language and the Dead Sea Scrolls, collectively creating a program designed to bridge ancient heritage with the modern preservation of Macedonian identity in Canada.
