Demosthenes led Athenians against the advance of PHilip II of Macedon, but failed to rally the
other city-states to join the fight, and eventually all of Greece fell to the Macedonian. Some
city-states, remembering the Delian League, may have been reluctant to support Athens. They
may have felt that Athens would once again take control of them if they were able to defeat
disarray that followed the Peloponnesian War, may have believed that the best option would be
Greece unified, but under the umbrella of a strong foreign power, rather than one of their own
small states. It s easy to argue that the failure of Demosthenes to manage the defeat of Philip
was for the best. After all, the result was Alexander, the expansion of Greece, and the
prosperity that brought and spread Hellenistic culture. The alternative would seem to be a
group of small city-states impoverished by war with a power such as Macedon, with a unity that
would eventually fail from infighting and the struggle to become a unified power with a unique
culture, it is doubtful that it would have had the depth and influence of the Hellenistic era
created by Demosthenes' failure.
