Who was a leading philosopher of ancient Greece and an adherent of dualism?
A leading philosopher of ancient Greece who was an adherent of dualism is Plato. He proposed a distinction between the realm of the forms, which represents ideal and unchanging truths, and the physical world, which is imperfect and transient. Plato's dualism emphasizes the separation between the body and the soul, suggesting that the soul is immortal and exists independently of the physical body. His ideas significantly influenced Western philosophy and the development of metaphysical thought.
Will Macedonia defeat the Greeks?
Macedonia is a Greek province on the northern Greek peninsula so no it is not fighting its own people.
Unlike today when the country is united, in ancient times when Greece was a collection of states with differing political systems there was a constant fight for hegemony over the other states.
As the eminent historian J.B. Bury writes:
- As the hegemony or first place among Greek states had passed successively from Athens to Sparta, and to Thebes, so now it passed to Macedon. The statement that Greek liberty perished on the plain of Chaeronea is as true or as false as that it perished on the field of Leuctra or the strand of the Goat's River. Whenever a Greek state became supreme, that supremacy entailed the depression of some states and the dependency or subjection of others. Athens was reduced to a secondary place by Macedon, and Thebes fared still worse; but we must not forget what Sparta, in the day of her triumph, did to Athens, or the more evil things which Thebes proposed.

What was a polis of ancient Greece?
A polis is a city, but it's more than just the place. It's also the people of the city and the political unit represented by those people and the government that rules it. In some uses it includes more than just the urban area of the city as we would think of it, but also the land around it which falls politically within the control of the government and which is farmed to feed the people living in the urban area; in many cases, the people who live on the land outside the city but still within the polis land consider themselves, and are considered by the people of the city, to be citizens of that city though they live outside it. in modern literature, polis is often translated as city-state, which is about as close as we can get to the meaning without writing an entire paragraph like this one.
