The Battle of Chaironeia

Alexander and Philip did not always see eye to eye. Relations between them were strained for the following reasons: 1. The ill-feeling between Olympias and Philip. Alexander was caught in the middle, loyal to both at different times. 2. Philip’s relationship with Attalus’ young niece Eurydice/Cleopatra. This was a threat to Alex, because if there was a son from this marriage, his right to succession may be threatened, especially as Eurydice was a full-blooded Macedonian.

6. The Murder of Philip In 336BC, on the eve of his invasion of Persia, Philip attended a wedding between his daughter Cleopatra and Olympias’ brother Alexander. As he was walking into the theatre where the wedding was held, he was fatally stabbed by a man called Pausanias. Why? 1.Pausanias was a jealous ex-lover. 2.Alexander and/or Olympais put Pausanias up to it. 3.There was a conspiracy against Philip involving the Lyncestis brothers (a notable Macedonian family) 4.Demosthenes of Athens paid Pausanias to do it. 5.The Persian King Darius paid Pausanias to do it. 6.Some combination of the above…

The Murder of Philip

Alexander is Proclaimed King

7. King Alexander After Alexander was proclaimed King, he had a number of immediate problems to solve, first inside Macedonia, then in the rest of Greece: 1.He killed all rivals to the throne, including 2 of the 3 Lyncestian brothers (see Artus, pg.16) and Amyntas (son of Philip’s elder brother). Attalus was also killed. 2.All Greece was in revolt. He first went south, where he outwitted the Thessalians to gain their support. Athens and the other southern states acclaimed him as Philip’s successor. 3.He then needed to go north, to deal with revolts in Illyria. 4.While in the north, there were rumours that he had been killed. Thebes again revolted, with support from Athens. 5.Alexander laid siege to Thebes and defeated it. He then handed the matter over to the League of Corinth, who voted that Thebes should be destroyed.

8. The War of Revenge Alexander had inherited his father’s army and secured power over Greece. He then prepared to take on the might of the Persian Empire.
