Hello, I am the writer and researcher for the video, I hope you enjoy it! The sources used for the video are: Greek federal states by J. A. O Larsen and Federalism in Greek Antiquity by Beck and Funke

It seems that one state becoming a dominant power after leading a struggle against another great power is a common scene in history.

See the title: Ancient Greek Leagues See the animated thumbnail: Tanks flying everywhere ...OK

Me: Kings and Generals, how many series do you want to start? Kings and Generals: Yes

I was expecting a reference to the "Panhellenic idea". Many ancients Greeks write and support the unification of all Greeks. It was supported by Gorgias, Issocrates, Aristotle, Jason of Pherae, Dionysius I of Syracuse and Phillip II. While other were against it, such as Demosthenes

Polis - singular Poleis - plural

In the ancient Greek world, a polis could be referred to any city, town or village. It included a settlement and the surrounding land it controlled. The city states either remained independent, grouped together into leagues by mutual interests or were forced to join them through coercion or intimidation. After the decline of central control and collapse of the Mycenaean Empire in the 12th century BCE, the Greek world entered a chaotic period of nomadic migrations, invasions and fragmentation, as a result the ancient Greeks were very divided and subdivided. But they created for themselves a world like no other, a world where each city state had its own unique (and often fantastic) culture.

Hellene from Thessaly here. Love your videos.

I'm worldbuilding a low fantasy universe largely inspired by ancient Europe. especially Greece, so this is super useful!

THANK YOU. This is why this channel is great. You know that in order to understand the history you also need to understand the underlying political systems. Kudos to you

Its cool to hear The Epitaph of Seikilos being played near the end.

how can people dislike this? its not even controversial, its just a documentary

Kings and Generals, lately you're spoiling us Greeks. Keep it up!

Another wonderful content. Liked it very much. Greeks are so awesome that no matter what you know about the Greeks and Greek culture, you still have a lot to learn.

Good video! It gives an insight into Greek culture. Love from India! Also Greece has such a rich and ancient history. Certainly something to be proud of.

I could spend ages poring over the multitudes of modern derivations of Greek concepts, constructs and institutions. Koinon/Community; Polis/City; Ethnos/Nation - I love how our past illuminates our present.

3:47 Ethnos (Έθνος) = Nation . Greeks gave the first definition of that word

:_KnGLogo:I love this channel. Always spot on! Look forward to each new video! Thanks Kings and Generals

One of the best channels on YouTube. Thank you.
