		Philip II of Macedon made his state the most powerful in the Balkan peninsula within twenty years of his accession to the throne in 359, thereby radically transforming the balance of power throughout the Greek world, and taking Greek history into a new phase.
		Philip's emphasis on diplomacy revealed that in his concept of the Macedonian state the army was only a part of the wider structure, and this new approach set a trend that would be adopted by future leaders of state.
		Philip recognised that a significant trend in the period was the decline of the Greek city-states, and he took advantage of this weaker state of affairs to secure his power in Greece, establishing a brief peace with Athens in 346.

	Philip II of Macedon (382-336 B.C.)
		Philip's so-called League of Corinth, established in 337, was an organization designed to preserve and perpetuate a general peace (koine eirene), inaugurated when the delegates of all the states of Greece (except Sparta) and the islands swore to abide by it and to recognize Philip as president (hegemon) for this purpose.
		Philip designed a council of representatives from all the states (synedrion), which was empowered to deliberate and decide on action to be taken in the event of the peace being broken or threatened.
		Philip was wise, no doubt, to build on the foundation of the earlier practice of the Greeks themselves and also to refrain from organizing them in any permanent alliance that would have recalled too much the unpalatable experiences of the past.

	Philip III of Macedon - Phantis
		When news arrived in Macedon that Arrhidaeus had been chosen as king, Cynane, a daughter of Philip, matured the design to pass in Asia and offer the new king her daughter Eurydice for wife.
		From that moment on Philip Arrhidaeus was to be under the sway of his bride, a proud and determinated woman bent on substantiating her husband's power.
		It soon became clear that Philip was too dangerous to be left alive, as many enemies of Olympias saw him as a useful tool against her, and so on December 25 317 BC she had him executed, while his wife was forced to commit suicide.

		Even if Meleager was killed, a compromise was engineered: Arrhidaeus would become king with the name of Philip, and he would be joined by Roxana's son as co-sovereign should he prove a male, as he did, and joined his uncle with the name of Alexander.
		It was immediately decided that Philip Arrhidaeus would reign, but not rule: this was to be the prerogative of the new regent, Perdiccas.
		Manolis Andronikos, the chief archaeologist on the ground, decided it was the skeleton of Philip II, but many have disputed this attribution and instead proposed it to be the remains of Philip Arrhidaeus, as the style of the tomb relates better to his date of death (317 BC) than that of his father (336 BC).
