    A European country, already in a dispute with another nation over the second's use of a certain name, is now outraged because that second country wants to re-christen a transportation hub after someone whom the first country claims as its very own hero. What are these two countries, and about whom are they arguing?

    		Sounds like Greece and (the former Yugoslav republic of) Macedonia. And it sounds like the Macedonians want to name Skopje Airport after Alexander.

    My raison d’etre was to stand guard; I eventually "failed", yet I'm still a sentinel. Tourists from one country named me after a hero from a different country altogether, a hero who has nothing to do with my country. This name is how people from most other countries know me still. After some personal upheaval, but during a period of relative peace throughout my land, I found myself singing each morning when the sun came up. My paeans ended eventually, and so did the peace. I am?
