King of the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedonia from 359 BCE. He seized the throne from his nephew, for whom he was regent, defeated the allied Athenian city states at the battle of Chaeronea (in central Greece) in 338 and formed them into a Hellenic league under Macedonian hegemony whose forces could be united against Persia. He was assassinated while he was planning this expedition, and was succeeded by his son Alexander the great. Philip's tomb was discovered at Vergina, northern Greece, in 1978.

∙ 8y agoHe was king of Macedonia, who progressively conquered Greece and established himself as Hegemon (leader). He planned to use these resources to invade and take over the Persian Empire, but was assassinated on the eve of his departure. His son Alexander took up the task successfully. There is some question on whether Alexander, as chief beneficiary, and son of Philip's ex-wife and now foe Olympia, had a role in the assassination.
