The Hellenistic League

The Hellenistic League was an alliance formed among Greek city-states and some larger kingdoms during the early Hellenistic period, after Alexander the Great's empire fragmented. It aimed to coordinate military efforts and defend against common enemies, such as Persia or rival states. The league reflects the shifting power dynamics of the era, moving from independent city-states to more collective organizations, often led by dominant powers like Macedonia. Although its structure and purpose varied over time, it exemplifies the political and military cooperation that characterized the Hellenistic world.
