Philip II of the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedonia. Philip united Greece (Hellas), under Macedonian Hegemony and together they conquered Persia.
- Quote: It is difficult to imagine that Philip II's policy toward Greece was an end in itself. Once his Balkan borders had been secured his general course seems to have been directed toward the establishment of stability in Greece, NOT CONQUEST.
