To my knowledge, there is no AH timeline or even post of a more successful athenian confederation; is easy to find a POD in the Peloponnesian War, since two years after the fall of Athens the Spartiates were asking for a cease of hostilities and the Sicilian expedition was seen as a total waste of men, ships and money. It´s easy to imaginate an athenian victory... in fact, it would be more plausible than OTL alternative. The cuestion, for me, is if that Athenian empire would develop strong institutions and resist the macedonians with more success than they did in OTL. The Sparta and Macedonia monarchies were a step back in politics development, as the Hellenistic Kingdoms. Would be possible a "democratic" (even in a limited way) confederation in such time and place? What do you think?

And of course, sorry for my english, I read it well and enjoyed your works for years and don´t like to be a leech, but I am a writer in spanish and is very frustrating doing that in another idiom, always feel without the word I need...
