    yeah the persians were attempting to impose the tributary system and collect taxes from the greeks. probably the only real difference is that alexander the great's conquest might have played out as a rebellion, instead.

    edit: as you elaborated upon in your other comment

    a persian victory would not have fundamentally changed the relationships to production, this is disguised great person thinking

      or like a conquest-genocide model of thinking, Persian victory would eliminate the greeks, Greek victory had eliminated the Persians, or at least their influence in the Mediterrean (none of these suppositions are true, of course).
