The Corinthian League

The Corinthian League, also known as the Hellenic League, was a federation of Greek city-states established in 337 BCE, mainly under the leadership of King Philip II of Macedon. Its primary purpose was to unite the Greek states against external threats, particularly Persia. Members of the league cooperated militarily while maintaining their own governance. The League's most notable event was the creation of a joint army that participated in Alexander the Great's campaigns. Although it aimed to promote unity, it eventually highlighted the complex relationships and rivalries among the Greek states. The league dissolved after Alexander's death in 323 BCE.
