Who was the Greek who conquered the Persian Empire?
He was Macedonian, not Greek - Alexander the Great, king of Macedonia.
Why did they split ancient Macedonia?
Macedonia was never split. Ancient Macedonia was a Greek kingdom on the northern Greek peninsula that is today free from foreign occupation, a province on the northern Greek peninsula. Under Roman occupation the name was applied to a larger administrative area and during Ottoman occupation the name disappeared altogether when it became the vilayet of Selnik (Thessaloniki). Today approx 4% lies outside of historical Macedonia in Greece, specifically the area called Pelagonia in ancient Macedonia (Bitola a calque of Monastiri the original Greek name).
What cultural features did all Greeks share?
A language and gods and goddesses. There were leagues which oversaw religious and cultural matters, the most notable of which was the Delphic (or Great Amphictyonic) League. The Olympic Games was a religious festival in which the Greek city-states participated. Macedonia was not considered Greek. Philip II king of Macedonia was denied entry to the Olympics and had to fake up an ancestry linking him to an ancient Greek hero to get in. His soldiers could not speak or understand Greek easily, and Philip and his son Alexander the great had to have interpreters when they gave orders/briefings in Greek to combined Greek/Macedonian groups.
Who was defeated in the Trojan War?
The Trojans were defeated by the collected Greek armies.
Who defeated Zeus in Greek mythology?
In Greek mythology, Zeus was not defeated by any single individual. He was the king of the gods and the most powerful deity in the Greek pantheon.
