Korintski savez
Korintski savez, ponekad navođen i kao Helenski savez (from Greek Ἑλληνικός Hellenikos, "pertaining to Greece and Greeks"[1][2][3]), bio je savez starogrčkih polisa koje je tokom zime 338/337. p. n. e. osnovao makedonski kralj Filip II.[4] Članovi saveza su imali pravo da zadrže vlastite ustave, ali su, s druge strane, bili dužni da spreče svaki čin agresije, odnosno da daju određeni broj vojnika u zajedničku stajaću vojsku, srazmjerno svojoj veličini. Savez je imao zajedničku skupštinu - sinedrion - koji se sastajao u Korintu. Filip II je odmah po osnivanju od strane sinedrija imenovan komandantom vojske.
Razlog zbog koga je Filip osnovao Savez bilo je nastojanje da sebi osigura saveznike pred predstojeći pohod na Persija,[5][6][7] s kojim je u doba kralja Artakserksa III došao u sukob zbog persijske pomoći gradu Perintu na trakijskoj obali. Filip je kao razlog za povod naveo odmazdu za pustošenja koje su Persijanci počinili po Grčkoj za vrijeme grčko-persijskih ratova 480. p. n. e.
S druge strane, Filipu je Savez takođe služio i kao sredstvo održavanja makedonske hegemonije nad Grčkom, uspostavljene nakon što su u bici kod Heroneje poraženi njegovi glavni suparnici Atina i Teba. Savez je tako Filipu dozvolio da drži makedonske garnizone u Korintu, Tebi, Pidni i Ambrakiji. Jedini polis koji nije pristao da uđe u Savez te tako očuvao nezavisnost bila je Sparta. Nakon Filipove smrti se dio članica Saveza pobunio, ali je tu pobunu surovo ugušio Aleksandar Veliki, te je Korintski savez sudjelovao u njegovom pohodu na Aziju.
Isokrat je prvobitno podsticao kralja Filipa (u Isokratovoj besedi Filipu), 346. pne, da ujedini Grčku protiv Persijanaca.[8][9] Nakon bitke kod Heroneje, Ligu je kontrolisao kralj Filip.
Naziv 'Korintska liga' izmislili su moderni istoričari jer se prvi savet Lige održao u Korintu, a grčku reč sinedrion je bolje prevesti kao kongres ili konferencija nego liga. Ova organizacija je bila prvi put u istoriji da su se grčki gradovi-države (sa značajnim izuzetkom Sparte, koja će se pridružiti tek kasnije pod Aleksandrovim uslovima) ujedinili pod jednim političkim entitetom.[10]
Organizacija
[uredi | uredi izvor]Ligom su upravljali Hegemon[11][12][13] (strategos autokrator[14][15] u vojnom kontekstu),[16] Sinedrion[17] (veće) i Dikastaj (sudije). Dekreti lige su izdati u Korintu, Atini, Delfima, Olimpiji i Pidni.[18] Liga je održavala vojsku koju su plaćivale države članice u približnoj srazmeri sa njihovom veličinom, dok je Filip uspostavio helenske garnizone (kojima su komandovali fourarči, ili komandanti garnizona) u Korintu, Tebi, Pidni[19] i Ambrakiji.

Liga tokom Aleksandrijskih pohoda
[uredi | uredi izvor]Odluku o uništenju Tebe kao prekršioca gore navedene zakletve doneo je savet Korintskog saveza velikom većinom.[22] Osim kršenja zakletve, savet je ocenio da su Tebanci na taj način konačno kažnjeni za izdaju Grka tokom Persijskih ratova.[23][24] Ligu pominje Arijan (I, 16, 7), posle bitke kod Granika (334. pne). Aleksandar je poslao 300 panopija u hram Atinine palate u Atini, sa sledećim natpisom.
„ | Aleksandar, sin Filipov, i Helene, osim Lakedemonaca, od varvara koji naseljavaju Aziju[25] | ” |
Takođe, Diodor Sikulski (Βίβλος ΙΖ’ 48.[6]) pominje odluku Sabora iz 333. pne, posle bitke kod IsE, da pošalje ambasadore Aleksandru koji će doneti Izuzetnost Grčke (zlatni venac).[26] Tokom 331. pne, nakon bitke kod Megalopolisa, Sparta je zatražila od Aleksandra uslove, na koje je on pristao pod uslovom da se Lakedemonci sada pridruže Korintskom savezu.[27] Tokom azijskog pohoda, Antipatar je postavljen za zamenika hegemona Lige[28] dok je Aleksandar lično preporučio Atinjanima da skrenu pažnju na te predmete; u slučaju da mu se nešto desi, Atina bi preuzela vlast u Grčkoj.[29]
Posledice
[uredi | uredi izvor]Liga je raspuštena posle Lamijskog rata (322. pne).[30] Tokom 302. pne Antigon I Monoftalm i njegov sin Demetrija Poliorketa pokušali su da ožive federaciju protiv Kasandra. Antigon III Doson (makedonski kralj od 229. pne do 221. pne) je takođe oživeo Ligu protiv Sparte tokom 224. pne.[31]
