What do you mean? "Spartan" Greek sounded different then "Athens" Greek as well. They all had their different dialects.

And Macedonians were considered Greeks, barely, but Greeks.

What I'm trying to say is that being descendant of Heracles is a totally different thing then claiming to be son of a god ergo being one yourself. Claiming to be descendant of Heracles didn't make you a god or anything.
Claiming what Alexander the Great claimed was unheard of in the Greek city-states. I don't see how theocracy has anything to do with the city-states having wars with each other.
