The Greek independent city-states became prosperous by about 500 BCE. The cultural advances began in Ionia (Asia Minor), spreading to mainland Greece in the mid-400s, where Athens was able to lead using the wealth it took from its empire to finance it. This development shifted to the Macedonian kingdoms in Egypt, Asia Minor and Syria which formed after Alexander's conquests.
