My writing in Foreign Policy again, on how the Athenian model of recovery after the Thirty Tyrants may offer a model for how to escape the negative polarization death-spiral (and how ancient Greek 'stasis' shows why we must do so, and fast!).https://foreignpolicy.com/2021/03/07/ancient-greece-partisan-stasis-civil-conflict/ …

When discussing 'Ancient Greece', the premise is to study ancient Greek history to understand the unique and temporal ethos of those city-states as they actually existed in available sources. Macedonia for instance, is the birthplace of the ancient parliament & monarchy.

You will find, I think, that monarchy - including monarchs with councils of aristocratic advisors - developed independently in a number of places and Macedonia was not the first of these. Moreover, the Argead state can hardly be said to have contained a parliament of any sort.

On this second point, see E.M. Anson, "Macedonia's Alleged Constitutionalism" CJ 80.4 (1985) and "The Evolution of the Macedonian Army Assembly (330-313 B.C.)" Historia 40.2 (1991).

You weren't invalid. The limited space to insert characters weren't detailing it that it was the earliest 'European monarchy'. Parallel to that time, Achaemenid Iran pranced around with its divine right 'King of Kings' dalliance that spilled into certain Greek thought, (1/2)

but breakaway republicans like Aristotle managed. But nevertheless Alexander had to style as King of Asia to market to oriental despotists. But Seleucids whose snuggling with oriental despotism caused tragic consequence onward. (2/2).

The Argead house was not the earliest European monarchy. At the very least the bronze age 'wanaces' of mainland Greece far predate it. Greek exposure to Near Eastern forms of monarchy also predate Cyrus II and the Achaemenids.
