Philip II of Macedonia but as a Greek himself he never conquered Greeks or Greece in the context that this loaded question implies. Philip II united Greece (Hellas), under Macedonian Hegemony and together they conquered Persia.

  • Quote: It is difficult to imagine that Philip II's policy toward Greece was an end in itself. Once his Balkan borders had been secured his general course seems to have been directed toward the establishment of stability in Greece, NOT CONQUEST.

Was Greece a true democracy?

In political science there is no clearly defined term as "true democracy".

If you wish to ask whether Ancient Athens was a direct democracy, i.e. where every resolution was approved by popular referendum as opposed to through elected representatives, then, Yes. However, the rest of Greece was not democratic and ruled by monarchs, autocrats, or oligarchs.

If you wish to ask whether Ancient Athens provided suffrage to all people and allowed full freedom of expression, of course not. The voting population in Athens was less than 10% of the overall population since only ethnic Athenian property-owning males were allowed to vote. Women, children, slaves, foreigners, and other large segments of the population were not allowed to vote. Additionally, there were no established human rights and there were blasphemy laws and other similar institutions in Hellenic Greece and Athens in particular.
