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.
