What if the Achaemenid Empire conquered Greece? How long could they hold it and what would be the consequences?
Some potential consequences:
- An interesting cross pollination of ideas with Zoroastrianism influencing Greek philosophy and Greek philosophy influencing Persian philosophy in turn
- no rise of Macedon.
- Greek hoplites would serve in the Persian military
- an expansion of trade routes. More trade between Greece and the rest of the Persian Empire.
- If the empire survives long term, Rome would face a formidable adversary.
-A probable abolition of slavery
