English: Emathia in origin is the Greek term for the country around the central plain of Macedonia. Until modern times it was a lake or a bay of the Thermaic Gulf, with the states or districts around it peripherally. Moving in from Upper Macedonia the Macedonians took it over state by state replacing the former population and calling it Lower Macedonia. Eventually the term came to refer to the entire country of geopolitical Macedon. Emathia was generally used by poetry. It differed from the term Macedon by refering also to the country when it was still pre-Macedonian palaeo-Balkan states, although the word is from proto-Greek and not from the other languages of the Balkans.
