First they were Hellenic tribes, such as Sparta, Athenians etc; Got it now ? That is why you have to understand what Hellenic tribes were. And you avoided it like the plague.

The correct answer would be Greece, you had to undetsand what the Hellenic tribes were first for me to go further.

Hellenic city states were united under Philip "Alexanders father" leadership. Correct ? Now let's see if you answer ?

You didn't answer me again. The above question of yours is usless because if you fail to understand what the Hellenic tribes were about then you're lost.

You prove my piont....

OK, did Philip defeated the Hellenic tribes? YES! (don't even try to argue that)
Did he united them? Isn't he responsible for the uniting of the Greeks (Hellens)? And was he a Greek (Hellen)? Have in mind what Demosten said...

There wasn't any Greek State back then ..only Greek Nation composed by
greek Tribes !!!!

In the same way that there wasn't Illyrian state but Illyrian tribes like , Bylliones, Dardanes , Aytariates , Parthini , Encheleis ....

So Alexander's kigdom was the kigdom of the Greek tribe of the Makedones named Makedonia.
...In the same way as the Kingdom of Diomedes was Argos , that of Idomeneus was the Kingdom of Crete ...and in the same way Athens was a greek city-state , composed mainly by Ionians .

But Philip encapsuleted these tribes in a Macedonian kingdom, right? And defeated and conquered Greek tribes, no? And?

And?

He vassaled barbarians (Paeonians,Illyrian,Thracians)

and Became the chief-general of the greek-alliance against Persia

Inizialy , it was the Thessalians (the Alevads from Larissa) who invited him to be their "tagos" = military commander in their conflicts with the Magnesians and the Phoceans. and when they gave him their votes in the Amphiktyonic council he became "chairman" of the Amphictyony so was the official "protector" of the Delphian oracle. The wars against Phoceans were not conquering ones ,but he wanted to panish them because they looted the greek "holy land".
In Epeirus he "instituted" Alexander IV as king , which was let's say "his agent", but didn't conquered it.
In Athens , although his coalition won in Chaerone (Macedonians ,Thessalians etc) vs. Athenians,Thebans ,etc he treated them with the greatest rispect.The win of Chaeronea permitted him to unify Greece , that is proclaim COMMON PEACE (see Isokrates) and not conquering. So under Philip the Greeks stopped fighting each other.

Philip was King of Macedonia and Chief General of The Greeks and never
altered these roles !!!

BTW ..you never answered me ..What was the island of Pythagoras Greece or Samos ??
