Topic: Parmenion


  
  Parmenion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Parmenion was the son of a Macedonian nobleman Philotas.
Parmenion was Philip II's most trusted general, and a major influence in the formation of the tough, disciplined and professional Macedonian army whose tactics would dominate land warfare for the succeeding centuries, arguably until the Marian Reforms of the Roman army in 107 BC.
Parmenion would continue to be significant up until the conquest of Babylon, commanding the left wing in the battles of Issus and Gaugamela, a critical part in the overall Macedonian battle plan, allowing the king to strike the decisive blow.

 Philotas, son of Parmenion - WCD (Wiki Classical Dictionary)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Alexander owed something to the old general and was forced to do something in return, especially since Parmenion commanded a big army, the vanguard of an expeditionary that the Macedonians had sent against the Achaemenid empire.
For example, Parmenion's second son Nicanor became commander of the Hypaspists, his son-in-law Coenus commanded a phalanx battalion, and another Nicanor may have been admiral of the navy of the Greek allies.
During the winter, the Companion Cavalry was part of Parmenion's army group, which moved from Sardes to the east along the Royal road, occupying Gordium in the winter.

 Parmenion
Parmenion was the son of a nobleman from Upper Macedonia called Philotas.
His youngest son Nicanor became commander of the infantry regiment that was known as the Shield bearers, his son-in-law Coenus commanded a phalanx battalion, and another Nicanor was admiral of the navy of the Greek allies.
Parmenion was too powerful to remain alive, especially since he would be angry when he heard of the execution of his son.

Parmenion, son of Philotas, was an experienced and successful Macedonian general who served both Philip II of Macedon and Alexander the Great.
As it was, Parmenion was detatched from the army when his second son Nicanor died, and when his eldest son Philotas was executed in late 330 BC (see also Philotas Affair).
Parmenion's end was not far off—Alexander sent fast riders to Ecbatana, and his subordinate commanders murdered him at the king's command.

Parmenion, son of Philotas, was born early in the fourth century, probably in 400BC (he is stated as being 70 years old in 330BC), and so he was already a young man when Philip was born.
Parmenion married his widowed daughter to Coenus, who commanded one of the battalions of pezhetairoi and who voiced the army’s grievances to Alexander at the Hyphasis in 326BC.
Parmenion’s strategic role was to command the left wing of the army, which included the superb Thessalian cavalry.

Parmenion was the general who had supported his father's marriage to Cleopatra, conspired with the Athenians to unseat him, and who was much too powerful for AlexanderÕs comfort in his military and politically.

Raised to manhood in Sparta, bullied and forced to fight for his life every day, Parmenion had no notion of the unseen dimensions of magic and mystery that shaped his fate.

 Philotas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
October 330 BC) was the son of Parmenion, Alexander's most experienced and talented general.
Either way, the plot traveled to the ears of the king who after a short and truly unfair trial executed Philotas on extremely weak evidence; however, Philotas had no doubt spoken very incautiously on some sensitive subjects, such as Alexander's visit to Ammon.
The king then sent messengers to murder Parmenion before he could hear the news of his son's death and possibly start a rebellion.

From the start he was under the ‘brigade’ command of Parmenion, who took charge of the left wing.
At the battle of Issus Craterus was still under the wing command of Parmenion, but it is clear that, at least by now, he was given more responsibility; not only did he command his own battalion, but he also had overall command of the three pezhetairoi battalions on the left.
By this time he was obviously chomping at the bit, eager for a more independent command; and Alexander gave it to him at the Persian Gates, where he was left to organise the feint in front of Ariobarzanes’ fortifications, while Alexander himself took a task force in an outflanking manoeuvre.

 Alexander the Great - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Here, too, a plot against his life was revealed, and one of his officers, Philotas, was executed for treason for failing to bring the plot to his attention.
Parmenion, Philotas' father, who was at the head of an army at Ecbatana, was assassinated by command of Alexander, who feared that Parmenion might attempt to avenge his son.
The murder of his friend Clitus, which Alexander deeply and immediately regretted, is often cited as a sign of his paranoia, as is his execution of Philotas and his general Parmenion for failure to pass along details of a plot against him.

The book portraits the life of Parmenion "The Death of Nations", a man who is constantly manipulated by Fate and the seeress Tamis.
Hated by all others because he is "mix-blooded"-half Spartan, and half Macedonian- who will raise among all the Spartiates, developing "strategos" capabilities never seeing before, showing the world no mercy in battle, and becoming the nightmares of his enemies.
The interesting notion that Parmenion was half Spartan and half Macedon is one of the Gemmell's innovations.

An agent of Alexander the Great stabs the general Parmenion to death as he reads a letter.
Parmenion believed the letter was from his son, the traitor Philotas, but, in fact, Alexander had forged the letter to test his general's loyalty.
Alexander had suspected the general's willingness to betray his cause, and Parmenion's pleased reaction to the letter, which suggested that Alexander should desist from future conquests, confirmed his doubts.

In return, Alexander appointed (or had to appoint) several relatives of Parmenion on important positions, and Coenus was one of them.
At this stage of Alexander's war in the Achaemenid empire, the commander of the phalanx, Craterus, accused the commander of the Companion cavalry, Parmenion's son Philotas, of high treason.
In the end, he was executed, and so was his father Parmenion, who was certainly innocent but could no longer be relied upon.

The only thing I am dissapointed about so far that's undebateable is that the character of Parmenion is not visibly in the movie.

Parmenion was also Alexander's Father's second-in-command and is probably one of the biggest reasons why Alexander was able to take the thrown of Macedon.

The famous Athenian orator Demosthenes immediately wrote to Attalus and Parmenion, one of Philip's most loyal lieutenants, to offer Athens's support and to urge them to declare war on Alexander.
When Attalus's life was the one point of dispute between Alexander and Parmenion–Attalus was Parmenion's son-in-law–Alexander remained firm, and he eventually got his way.
With Parmenion's support, Alexander was able to reclaim–all without a battle, and in a short time–the status that his father had worked so hard to achieve.
