Janko's book also takes issue with the hypothesis that King Philip ‘united the Greeks'. He refers to the author Wilcken who, quoting an older German author Drysden, claimed that Philip II was a ‘uniter of Greece'. Janko says "It is well known that Philip II was at war with Greeks, but not that they came to agreement and willingly accepted ‘unification'." To all intents and purposes, he imposed slavery on them and took the Greek city-states under his control. To say that he united them is like saying that in 1941 Hitler united a large part of Europe.
