Ancient Greece was composed of large and small city-states, the most important of which were Athens and Sparta. Athens experienced the Solonian reforms, the Peisistratus era, and the Cleisthenian reforms to form a democratic government; while Sparta formed an oligarchic government under the guidance of the Lycian Constitution.
When the Greek city-states declined, the northern kingdom of Macedonia rose. King Philip II became the overlord of Greece through war, but was assassinated at the age of 46. His 20-year-old son Alexander ascended the throne. Alexander began his Eastern Expedition at the age of 21 until his death at the age of 32. He spent the entire 11 years on the Eastern Expedition, sweeping across Asia, Africa and Europe, without any record of defeat.
The collapse of civilization. After the two Greco-Persian wars, Athens entered a golden age of democracy that lasted for 31 years - the Age of Pericles, during which the Parthenon was built. In 431 BC, the Peloponnesian War began. The Battle of Mantinea and the Sicilian Expedition completely brought Athens to the brink of collapse. In 404 BC, the Peloponnesian War ended, lasting 27 years. After that, Athens was reduced to a small city-state, and Greek civilization also began to decline.
