TFA blurb review
Macedonia was an ancient kingdom on the periphery of archaic and Classical Greece, and later the dominant state of Hellenistic Greece. The kingdom was founded and initially ruled by the royal Argead dynasty, followed by the Antipatrid and Antigonid dynasties. The earliest kingdom of ancient Macedonians was centered on the northeastern part of the Greek peninsula, and bordered by Epirus to the west, Paeonia to the north, Thrace to the east and Thessaly to the south. Before the 4th century BC Macedonia was a small kingdom outside of the area dominated by the great city-states of Athens, Sparta and Thebes, and was briefly subordinate to Achaemenid Persia. During the reign of the Argead king PhilipII (359–336 BC), Macedonia subdued mainland Greece and the Thracian Odrysian kingdom through conquest and diplomacy. PhilipII's son Alexander the Great commanded the whole of Greece after he destroyed Thebes and went on to conquer lands in Asia as far as the Indus River.

PericlesofAthens (and anyone else interested): thoughts and edits are welcome. There's no rush; this hasn't been scheduled at TFA yet. This batch finishes up blurbs for FACs promoted in 2017. - Dank (push to talk) 22:40, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
