Eugene N. Borza (born 3 March 1935) is a professor emeritus of ancient history at Pennsylvania State University. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio, USA. Borza has written many works on the ancient kingdom of Macedonia. In the introductory chapter of Makedonika by Carol G. Thomas, Borza is characterized as a "Macedonian specialist".[1]
Borza has become known for his controversial[2] views on the ethnic differences between the Greeks and Macedonians in ancient times, which led to the Greek government's refusal to allow him to film with British historian Michael Wood for the 1998 BBC television series In the Footsteps of Alexander the Great.[3]
