Peter Green quotes

Macedonia as a whole tended to remain in isolation from the rest of Greece... (Peter Green)

...for the first time he [Philip] began to understand how Macedonia's outdated institutions of feudalism and aristocratic monarchy, so despised by the rest of Greece, might prove a source of strength when dealing with such opponents.

Peter Green

Peter Green

Aristotle found support for his thesis in facts drawn from geopolitics or ‘natural law'. Greek superiority had to be proved demonstrably innate, a gift of nature. In one celebrated fragment he counsels Alexander to be ‘a hegemon [leader] of Greeks and a despot to the barbarians, to look after the former as after friends and relatives, and to deal with the latter as with beasts or plants'.
