Only the Greek states of the Hellenic League (also called the League of Corinth by historians) which was a federation of most of the Greek states created by Alexander's father, Philip II of Macedon, and were vassals of Macedon, and the Kingdom of Epirus (in western Greece), an ally, had never been part of the Persian Empire. Even Alexander's own kingdom of Macedon, had been part of the Persian Empire. It had been a vassal state of the Persians for nine years (512-493 B.C.) and was conquered by the Persians in 492 B.C. and remained a fully subordinated part of the Persian Empire for thirteen years. The Thracian tribes Alexander's father, Philip II, had conquered had also been part of the Persian Empire
