==Aftermath== The League was dissolved after the [[Lamian War]] in 322 BC.<ref>[[Sarah B. Pomeroy|Pomeroy, Sarah B.]] ''Ancient Greece: A Political, Social, and Cultural History'', p. 467 {{ISBN|0-19-509742-4}}</ref> Following the victory of [[Demetrius I of Macedon|Demetrius I Poliorcetes]] at the [[Battle of Salamis]] in 306 BC, his father, [[Antigonus I Monophthalmus]], assumed the title of ''[[Basileus]]'' ("King" of Alexander's Empire) by the assembled armies and gained control over the [[Aegean Sea|Aegean]], the [[eastern Mediterranean]], and most of the Middle East. While Antigonus and Demetrius attempted to recreate Philip II's Hellenic league with themselves as dual hegemons,{{Sfn|Cawkwell|1978|page=170}} a revived coalition of the [[diadochi]]; [[Cassander]], [[Ptolemy I Soter]], [[Seleucus I Nicator]], and [[Lysimachus]] decisively defeated them at the [[Battle of Ipsus]] in 301 BC, in which Antigonus I was killed.<ref>Adams, Winthrop Lindsay (2010).

The league functioned as an alliance (''[[Symmachia (alliance)|symmachia]]'') of existing Greek federations under Macedonian hegemony. This alliance consisted not of [[Polis|''poleis'']], but rather of larger regional entities, like the Achaeans, Thessalians, Boeotians, Epirotes etc.{{Sfn|Erskine|2009|page=155 :"Unlike previous Macedonian-sponsored alliances of Greek states, however, Doson's ''symmachia'' was not made up of ''poleis'', rather, its constituents were all regional entities: the Achaians, Thessalians, Macedonians, Boiotians, Phokians, Akarnanians and Epeirotes"}} These federations maintained internal autonomy, but were interdependent with respect to foreign policy.{{Sfn|Speake|2021|page=90 :"One of the most important acts of Doson's reign was the foundation in 224 BC of the so-called Hellenic League, an alliance of existing Greek federations under Macedonian hegemony. The various federations were to be internally autonomous, but interdependent with respect to foreign policy"}} Antigonus' league expanded Antigonid rule in southern Greece recovering [[Arcadia (region)|Arcadia]] in 224 BC and defeating king [[Cleomenes III]] of Sparta at the [[Battle of Sellasia]] in 222 BC.{{Sfn|Speake|2021|page=90}} Doson managed to restore internal stability in Macedon and reestablish its position as the dominant power in Hellenistic Greece.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Antigonid dynasty {{!}} Britannica |url=https://www.britannica.com/topic/Antigonid-dynasty |access-date=2023-12-11 |language=en}}</ref><ref>Trever, Albert Augustus.
