		Originally a semi barbarous and fragmented power, Macedon became a tributary to Persia under the Persian kings Darius I and Xerxes I and thereafter struggled to maintain itself against Thracians and other barbarians and against the Greek cities of the Chalcidice (the promontory southeast of modern Salonika) as well as Sparta and Athens.
		A new stage began with Archelaus (399 BC), who centralized the kingdom with a system of roads and forts; he also fostered the hellenization of his people by inviting famous Greek artists, Euripides among them, to his court.
		Contending with the rival kingdoms and with newly formed Greek federal leagues, Macedonia remained the dominant power in Greece until conquered by Rome in a series of wars waged by Philip V and his son Perseus.

		Such exile was a practical necessity in the case of a critical provacatuer like Euripides: barely a few years later, Athens rid itself more harshly of another such barbed commentator, when Socrates was executed for corrupting the city's youth with his skepticism.
		Removed as Macedon may have been, the king was an eager patron of the humanities and had attracted to his court notable painters, poets, and other artists.
		While at Archelaus' court, he wrote the Bacchae--which still stands as the monument to his towering genius--and Iphigenia at Aulis, in which he explored the antecedents to the Trojan War and the bloody family saga he had closed in his earlier Iphigenia in Tauris.
