 Encyclopedia: Battle of Chaeronea (338 BC)
The Battle of Chaeronea (338 BC), fought near Chaeronea, in Boeotia, was the greatest victory of Philip II of Macedon.
There, thanks in part to the fearless cavalry charge of Philip's son and heir, Alexander, Philip (with 32,000 men) defeated the smaller combined forces of Athens and Thebes, securing Macedonian hegemony in Greece.
The Macedonian phalanx is an infantry formation developed by Philip II and used by his son Alexander the Great to conquer the Persian Empire.

 Reader's Companion to Military History - - Chaeronea, Battle of   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The dream of the Athenian leader Demosthenes of a pan-Hellenic rebuff to Philip II of Macedon was nearly realized when thirty thousand Greeks in the plain of Chaeronea blocked the southward march of the Macedonians.
Chaeronea was not proof of the superiority of the Macedonian phalanx with its lighter body armor and lengthier spears.
Rather, it was a more fundamental reassessment of the entire nature of Greek warfare, a preview of a new military to come, wherein light infantry, cavalry, and the phalanx worked in concert, incorporating feints, reserves, encirclements, and oblique advances to confuse and tear apart less imaginative and slower-moving infantry.

 Ancient History Sourcebook: Diodorus Siculus (1st Cent BCE]: The Battle of Chaeronea, 338 BCE
In 338 B.C. the liberty of the old Greek city-states was blasted at Chaeronea in Boeotia by the victory of Philip of Macedon.
For he had fought many battles, gained most of them, and so learned much about war, but the best Athenian generals were now dead, and Chares---the chief of them still remaining---differed but little from a common hoplite in all that pertained to true generalship.
The king ordered his son Alexander, who had just become of age, yet already was giving clear signs of his martial spirit, to lead one wing, though joined to him were some of the best of his generals.
