Key Notes
Jiang defines the Pan-Hellenic Project as Philip's vision to unite the Greek world, often imagined through defeating Persia, but says it required a common Greek identity that did not really exist.
Jiang says Alexander turned Philip's Greek-unification project into a much larger world conquest, producing an empire that was unplanned and unexpected and therefore created a governance problem.
