Yes, Philip II's mother, Eurydice I, was of partial Illyrian descent—her father, Sirras, was an Illyrian prince or noble. This gives Philip (and thus Alexander) some Illyrian ancestry through the paternal line, alongside their Macedonian Greek heritage. Historical sources like Plutarch note these ties.

‘The terminology of 'Byzantium' artificially severs the 'medieval' eastern Roman empire from its 'classical' roots allowing for the fundamentally Eurocentric schematization of history into 'ancient,' 'medieval,' and 'Renaissance' periods.’ …The term “Byzantine Empire” is deployed as a way of denying that the Roman Empire of the Middle Ages was really the Roman Empire, hence clearing the way for standard narratives of Western Civilization.’ - Leonora Neville
Derek | The Hellenistic Age Podcast@HellenisticPod

I think that "Eastern Roman Empire" and "Byzantine Empire" are both totally appropriate naming conventions for the state established in Constantinople from 330-1453 A.D. It is both a direct continuation and something different, plus "Byzantine" rolls off the tongue better.

I spent about 2 weeks in Greece and I didn’t see a single burqa ✅ I saw maybe two hijabs and they were on Turkish tourists who looked very moderate No mobs of young North African men on the street like I had to deal with when I lived in Spain Overall I felt very safe, but then again I avoided the dodgy neighbourhoods eg Omonia in Athens
