  US Bazaar.com : Encyclopedia Pages : Philip V of Macedon
Philip V (Greek Φίλιππος Δ΄) was king of Macedon from 221 BC to 179 BC.
His reign was occupied in the vain struggle to maintain the old Macedonian supremacy in the Balkan peninsula, which became hopeless after the intervention of Rome, during the First Macedonian War, and the decisive battle of Cynoscephalae (197 BC), during the Second Macedonian War.
He was succeeded by his eldest son Perseus, who ruled as the last king of Macedon.

 Alexander the Great - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Born in Pella, Macedonia (modern day Greece), Alexander was the son of King Philip II of Macedon and of his fourth wife Olympias, an Epirote princess.
As Alexander's mother, Olympias, was from Epirus (a land in the western part of the Greek peninsula and not part of Macedon), and Cleopatra Eurydice was a true Macedonian, this led to a dispute over Alexander's legitimacy as heir to the throne.
The warrior culture of Macedon favoured the sword over strychnine, and many ancient historians, like Plutarch and Arrian, maintained that Alexander was not poisoned, but died of natural causes.

Perhaps it is ultimately for this reason that Alexander will unfortunately always remain a most curious enigma.
