II.   Sovereign

Hellenic Law Form, also known as Ancient Greek Law Form is the Form of sovereign territorial law, sovereign law, noble law, land law, property law and society law introduced progressively from the 8th Century BCE onwards by the inhabitants of the Greek City States and later from the 4th Century BCE under the reign of Alexander the Great.

The Greek Peninsula and islands have historically been a place of safe haven for refugees fleeing persecution, a site of continuous battle for strategic control by major naval powers of the Mediterranean and a site of unprecedented geothermal upheaval for millennia.

By the 7th Century BCE, the Greek and Aegean peninsula were dominated by Ilryians to the north-west (Croatia and Serbia), Thracians to the north - east, Lydia to the east (Anatolia) and many dozens of separate trading cities and towns from the Celts, Egyptians, Phoenicians and Carthaginians to refugees of the Yahudi of Palestine.

In the 6th Century BCE, Satan worshipping Yahudi Cult refugees from Palestine resettled in the town they renamed šumur meaning “first city”, also known as Kalkis (Χαλκίς) also known as Chaldis and the town they named šulumur meaning “city of the bull also known as Erétria (Ερέτρια) on the Island of Euboea following the invasion of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzer.

By the 6th Century BCE, the Celt system of religion and government had spread to north - eastern Greece and the formation of the Kingdom of Macedon. This introduced a new concept to the multitude of colonies throughout Greece and the Aegean whereby political systems of alliances or “hegemony”, also known as “leagues” were established, collapsed and redefined.

The concept of hegemony from the 6th Century BCE whereby consensus and unity was sought at a military, trade, political and cultural level by disparate city states developed by refugees from different cultural backgrounds led towards conflicts of ideas of statehood amongst the hegemony throughout Greece and the Aegean. This “conflict of ideas of statehood” accelerated into the 5th Century with the refinement of the Arcadian League headed by Sparta, the Ionian League headed by Athens and the Hellenic League headed by Pella (Macedon).

By the 5th Century, the choice of the Ionian League led by Athens to retain partial self determination by ceding to the authority of Darius I of Persia in exchange for the Persians invading and defeating the Arcadian League of Sparta and Hellenic League of Pella heralded a massive change in the geo - political map of Greece and the Aegean. After initial successes by Athens in treachery against other Greek leagues, the Persians and their Greek allies were roundly defeated by 479 BCE. By 430 BCE, the Ionian League was largely destroyed and Athens isolated as a pariah city - state within the expanded Arcadian League.

By the early 4th Century BCE, Philip of Macedon succeeded in crushing the last resistance of the Ionic League and Arcadian League to largely unite Greece for the first time in its history before being assassinated by Athenian assassins. Thus the law of the Hellenic league as further promoted by son of Philip known as Alexander the Great became the laws of most Greek cities for four hundred (400) years.
