The Murder Of Philip

THE EVENTS OF THE MURDER Philip was attending the wedding of his daughter: Cleopatra (daughter of Olympias) to Alexander King of Epirus the wedding took place in the old Macedonian capital of Aegae. Philip entered the theatre escorted by his son Alexander (the Great) and his future son-in-law Alexander (of Epirus). his bodyguards stood off at a distance. a man, Pausanias rushed up to Philip and stabbed him in the chest. Pausanias ran for the gates where a horse was waiting but he tripped on a root. as he tried to stand up he was speared by a group of pursuing bodyguards.

Who was pausanias ? Pausanias of Orestis was: A Macedonian noble. A bodyguard of King Philip. Philip’s ex-lover.

What was pausanias motive? Pausanias (of Orestis) was Philip’s lover. A new Pausanias began attracting the Kings attention. So, Pausanias (A) insulted Pausanias (B).

Upset, Pausanias (B) committed suicide by placing himself in front of the King during a battle. Attalus knew the real reason for his suicide. Attalus invited Pausanias to dinner, got him drunk, then had him assaulted.

Pausanias went to Philip demanding justice. Angry though Philip was he did nothing. Attalus was a relation and was important. Philip offered Pausanias gifts and a promotion but it didn’t work.

“By killing someone who Pausanias decided to kill Philip when he asked a philosopher Hermocrates how to become famous. He replied: “By killing someone who had done famous deeds”

ANY OTHER SUSPECTS…? ANTIPATER disaffected Macedonian noble. PERSIAN KING knew Philip was planning an invasion. GREEKS OUTSIDE MACEDONIA who hoped to get out from under Macedonian rule. OLYMPIAS Supplanted by Cleopatra as Philip’s first wife. ALEXANDER Alientate by his father and feared a new son of Philip.

ALEXANDER IS GUILTY. he had quarrelled with Philip. he could lose the throne to Cleopatra’s heir. the bodyguards were all friends of Alexander. the bodyguards made no attempt to take Pausanias alive. the army were on hand to provide a quick election. his supporters were very prompt in putting Alexander forward.

ALEXANDER IS NOT GUILTY. he went out of his way to find the guilty. Antipater (Philip’s chief general and friend) immediately supported Alexander. it was unlikely that he would have selected such a public moment (his sisters wedding) for murder. because of his deeply religious upbringing patricide would have been seen as a dreadful crime. a more likely suspect would have been Darius (the King of Persia) who knew of the planned invasion.

WHAT DO YOU THINK…? You be the judge.
