King Agsilaus II of Sparta began a successful attack on the Persian Empire In Asia Minor but was recalled to deal with problems at home. Sixty years later King Phillip II of Macedonia planned and organised the assault on the Persian Empire, but was assassinated on the eve of his departure. His son Alexander II (later called The Great) took over the project and succeeded.
