Philip didn't rule Greece, he was appointed hegemon, which power he used to try to bring the warring city-states to peace with each other. Of course many of the upper class didn't like this, but the average peasant farmer was just glad to live life without their aristocracies stirring up conflict.

Philip was assassinated before he could head off to his planned conquest of the Persian Empire, but his son Alexander continued on with the plan, and subsequently became virtually depopulated as their men flowed to Asia as soldiers and carpetbaggers. Greece was heavily depopulated over the following centuries as a result.
