So I'm considering a timeline in which the Greeks are swallowed up by another empire during their Dark Age (also known as the Bronze Age collapse). Perhaps the Egyptians or the Assyrians whether the Sea People invasion better than in our world, giving the power to expand into Greece. Doesn't really matter for the purposes of this question. My question is- if the Greeks become an outlier of another empire (any other empire) how likely are the Macedonians to rise up on the world stage the way they did under Philip and Alexander? What are the odds that their will be a Macedonian culture on the edge of some empire if that empire is not Greece, and how much would you say Greek culture affected Macedonian culture prior to Alexander?
