His ambition was unlimited, and his strategic ability matched this vision. He absorbed northern Greece, subverted the smaller members of the Amphytionic Council as his placemen, and dominated the remainder, defeating Thebes and Athens when they resisted, and became Hegemon (leader) of the Greek world. He had also planned to take over the Persian Empire and the additional power from his Greek takeover gave him the military strength and a secure base.
He was about to depart for Asia when he was assassinated. This assassination has been put down to many reasons, but most people miss the obvious one - a set up by Persia who saw the attack on them being prepared. His 20 year old son Alexander took over his father's plan, and the rest is --- history.
