The ancient Greeks crafted for themselves a world like no other, a world where each
city had its own unique ? and often fantastic ? culture. From the Spartans, a culture
built on a foundation of slavery, a culture that ? with no need to earn a living ? had
dedicated themselves to the ideals of physical perfection, and ironically espoused the
virtues of freedom; to the Athenians, a nation of unparalleled art and architecture ?
the likes of which, even today, remain unmatched in originality and richness ? a nation
whose constitution afforded democratic power to even the lowest class of citizen; the
stories of Greek civilization must have sounded like myth and legend to an outsider.
It was in this environment that the concept of hegemony was born: the idea that one
city-state could assert cultural dominance over the entire Greek world.
Despite the eternal struggle for dominance between Athens and Sparta, neither of these
giants would forge a lasting hegemony. It was a goal that would remain unfulfilled
until Philip of Macedon, king of the relatively unknown nation of Macedonia,
revolutionized Greek warfare and conquered the entire Hellenic world, permitting his
heir, Alexander the Great, to take the unified army of the Greeks and build an empire
so vast that even Julius Caesar was said to be visibly intimidated by the stories of
this incredible achievement.
This is the world of ancient Greece. A world of feuding city-states, of heroism and
deceit, and of legendary leaders. A world whose monumental legacy would leave our own
world forever changed. This is the world of Hegemony.
