Actually there were a Greek Kingdom. They were not only Greek, but primitive Greek; their political structure was that of Homeric age Greek Kingdoms - not of modernized city-states. They spoke Greek and worshiped the same gods. They also took part in the Olympic Games (at that time only Greeks were allowed to take part). What is more, Phillip and Alexander's dynasty was called the Argead dynasty. Because they were originally from Argos, in Peloponese. Dorians (such as Spartans) colonized the area of Macedon in the 8th century BC, founding the dynasty. Also Alexader the Great claimed to descend from Heracles from his father's side and from Achilles from his mother's side. Could he BE more Greek?
