After subverting some of the Greek city-states with bribes, Macedonia defeated a coalition of Greek city-states at the battle of Chaeronaea in 338 BCE, an king Philip II was acknowledged Hegemon (leader) of Greece.
He preferred the bribery approach but resorted to conquest for the hold-outs. He famously said that he could take any city as long as there was a path up which he could drive a donkey laden with gold.
He used bribery to gain control of a majority of cities in the religious/cultural Amphictyonic League which he used as a lever to get his own way.

How did the ancient Greeks and Romans create Greek and Roman mythology?
That's a bit of a loaded question, really. Like most ancient religions, the Greeks used religion not only to explain their environment, but also to propagate their language and culture. Most of the names of the gods and goddesses actually MEAN what they represent. Perhaps that goes without saying, but that gives a new meaning to many myths. For example, at face value, the myth of Apollo and Daphne is about the dangers of unrequited love and explains why the Laurel Tree was favored by Apollo. The truth of it is that Apollo represents the sun, and Daphne the dew, and explains why dew disappears when the sun rises. All of that is because of the meanings of the names, not just the story itself. The Etruscans and Latins (from whom the Romans derived their parts of 'Greco-Roman' mythology), did similar things. In fact, their names derive from the same sources at their Greek counterparts. Jupiter, for instance, is a corruption of "Jove Pater" (Father Jove), and Jove (which is Iovus - YO-wus - in Latin), has the same prehistoric root as the Greek name Zeus (DZOOS). And they both share a root for the Latin and Greek words for "god" ("deus" and "theos" respectively). So you see, it's not just about coming up with stories, it's about explaining how the world is the way it is, and why certain things are the way they are. They also used it to subjugate other cultural ideals. The Greek myths about Theseus and Minos were skewed from the stories because the stories we have were told by the Athenians. The Minoan versions would have, no doubt, been very different.

He had to delay his conquests into India because he underestimated it. Alexander thought that India would be small and easy to conquer, but in actuality, it was huge.

Their citizen population, and hence its army size, was limited to the productivity of the Spartan warrior class. With a succession of wars over two centuries, the war loses exceeded the male birth rate, and so Sparta's army shrank.

What problems did the oligarchies face in the Greek city states?
They owned the biggest estates and exercised leadership, but in the constant inter-city wars, they had to rely on the small farmers to form the bulk of the army, and so had to try to keep them on-side.
Their early practice of selling debtor citizens into slavery to recoup unpaid debta also caused rvolts, so they had to solve that problem too.
Why wouldn't you want to live in ancient Athens?
Because ancient Greece and the ancient world in general presented much more opportunity than today, instead of being born into wealth or the right circles, one with enough intelligence could prove himself great, the world wasn't already claimed, there was much knowledge to be learned and much land to take. The world wasn't set out before you and as such there was a chance to be in the history books. Not like today.
Atleast thats my view of it.
