There's a reason they were forgotten, OP

Thebes was cool as shit for a second. Look up Epimonondas and Theban hegemony. They took their army of faggots and beat the Spartans so bad with it at Leuctra that Sparta never really recovered

I think most people who aren't total window-lickers know about Macedonia.

Miletus and Ephesus were the homes of a few of the most influential presocratic philosophers. Many people know of Olympia, or atleast it's relation to greek theology. As well as Delphi through the Oracles (Apollo and Dionusus).

Macedonia was not a greek city-state.. Nor was it apart of greece at all, but merely tangent to it

Corinth must have been a big deal considering there was a war called the Corinthian war and Philip II united the greeks under the Corinthian league.

"Ić" is Serbian. "Ski" is Macedonian.

Macedonia had a Hellenic culture. The southern lowlands, which housed the ruling elite, were very much greek.

Just thinking about the Sacred Band gives me a boner. Imagine all those huge muscled men camping in the field after a long day of marching, polishing each others spears...

I think the Corinthan War was fought over land contested by Corinth.

As for the Corinthan League I can only speculate since my memory fails me, but Corinth was easily the 4th most influential city state in Greece. Athens and Thebes, both staunchly anti-Macedonian, would obviously not be Philip's first choice for a Macedonian led Hellenic league. But their rival Corinth would be a good choice.

There were Hellenised, and a related people, but they were not Greeks. Macedonians were not permitted to participate in the Olympic games and other pan-Hellenic festivals.
Much of the aristocracy could trace Greek lineage, however.
