That's like saying Troy wasn't part of Greece. Or Athens.

Alexander was King of Macedonia, and conquered other smaller Greek Kingdoms that were ALREADY part of Greece, before he went on to kick butt across Asia Minor. These were and had been 'Greek' long before Xerxes annexed them into Persia.

Even Northern Egypt during that era was considered part of "Greece."

Anyway, the point being, is that these superstitious imbeciles have been hacking each other into bits for Millennia, and will never stop for any reason.
