		Philip II of Macedon (reigned 359 to 336 B.C.) took a faction-rent, semi-civilized country of quarrelsome landed nobles and boorish peasants, and made it into an invincible military power.
		Alexander II [King of Macedon] at the very beginning of his reign purchased peace from the Illyrians [the peoples north and west of Macedon] with a sum of money, giving his brother Philip as a hostage.
		Not long afterward Alexander perished by a plot of his mother Eurydice, whom Amyntas [her husband]---when she was once convicted of a conspiracy against him---had spared for the sake of their children, little imagining that one day she would be their destroyer.

	Philip_2 of Macedon
		Isokrates, in his letter to Philip II, exhorts that, "men of high purpose and exceptional gifts ought not to undertake enterprises which any of the common run might carry out with success."1 Philip is a man "of high purpose" who accomplished things that no one of the "common run" was capable of.
		For instance Alexander's greatest obstacle in conquering Persia might have been Memnon of Rhodes, a Greek mercenary general.9 Macedonia and Philip were at a disadvantage to their neighbors, such as Thrace and Illyria, who could afford to hire soldiers while they could not.
		Such was the condition of the army that Philip II left behind when he was brutally stabbed to death by one of his bodyguards, Pausanias, during the spring of 336 B.C. It seems likely to me that Peter Green is correct in assigning some of the blame to Alexander and Olympias.
