Philip II of Macedon (382-336 BC; Greek Φιλι ππ π ος, Philippos, King of the Agid dynasty of the Kingdom of Macedonia (359-336 BC). Son of Amyntas III. The father of Alexander the Great and Philip III Arrhidaeus.
Although Macedonia does not belong to the traditional Greek city states, it has intricate connections with them. Philip was sent as a hostage to the city states of Thebes in Greece in his early years. After returning to China, Philip seized the throne of his young nephew in 359 BC. After more than 20 years of hard work, he built a powerful Kingdom of Macedonia. He strengthened the monarchy, reformed the currency system, promoted trade, established new cities, and opened up ports of entry in domestic affairs, but more importantly, his actions in military and diplomatic aspects.
He established a standing army, trained a powerful Macedonian phalanx, and established a powerful navy. He took advantage of the contradictions between Greek city states and defeated the Greek coalition in the Battle of Catalonia in 338 BC. The following year, he held the All Greek Conference in Corinth and established the Corinthian League led by Macedonia, establishing Macedonia's control over the Greek city states. In 336 BC, he died of assassination on the eve of preparing to march into Persia.
During the more than 20 years of Philip II's reign, Macedonia rose from a small country plagued by internal turmoil to become the leader of Greek city states, accumulating enormous potential in military, economic, and other areas, preparing sufficient conditions for the great conquest of its son Alexander.

Philip II (382-336 BC) was the king of Macedonia. Father of Alexander. At a young age, it enters the quality of Thebes. After ascending to the throne, he implemented currency and military reforms, and politically adopted a strategy of expanding everywhere. He occupied the northern coast of the Aegean Sea, then invaded Greece to the south, and obtained Greek leadership in 338 BC. He was assassinated while preparing to attack Persia. In the summer of 336 BC, the old capital of the Kingdom of Macedonia, Pila, was holding a grand wedding ceremony for the daughter of Philip II. She will marry King Epirus - her uncle, the younger brother of her mother Olympias. The wedding was held in a luxurious and lively manner. Philip, dressed in a festive white robe, beaming with joy and without weapons, walked into the auditorium surrounded by a group of festive guests.
No one expected that just as Philip was passing through the entrance of the auditorium, a guard dressed man suddenly rushed out, drew his short sword, and stabbed him directly in the chest. Before Philip could dodge, he fell into a pool of blood in an instant. The culprit had already prepared his horse and planned to jump and escape immediately after the incident. However, his horse was tripped by wild vines, causing him to fall off the saddle and be shot dead on the spot. The killer's name is Bauchenias, a young nobleman.
One view is that the assassination of Philip II was carried out by Macedonian nobles, as Philip's centralized policy harmed their interests. Some also suspect that the Persians may have participated in this conspiracy, hoping to kill Philip to prevent the expedition to Persia from taking place.
American scholar Fuller believes that Philip's ex-wife Olympias is highly suspicious. Due to the astonishing beauty of Atalas' niece Jolita, Philip II decided to abandon Olympias and make her queen. This would also affect Alexander's inheritance rights, leading to a serious family dispute.
The ancient Greek historian Plutarch suspected that the assassination plot was directly related to Alexander. He believed that the crime of assassinating Philip should be mainly attributed to Olympias, who was said to be the instigator and motivator of the angry youth to seek revenge. However, it was Alexander himself who was directly suspected. After Alexander ascended the throne, he immediately declared that the murder was entirely a Persian international conspiracy and a means of preventing Macedonia's eastward expedition. This grandiose explanation is to conceal his true motive.

There is still controversy over the dates of many of Philip's marriages and the names of the queens. Here is the record of Philip's marriage by Athanas: [1]
