Philip II was not only the father of Alexander the Great, but in
many respects was also the father of his son’s incredible career.
It was the father who unified Macedonia into the first European
nation and who created the army with which his son conquered the
Persian Empire and inaugurated the Hellenistic Age. This volume is
not the standard biography, but rather an examination of the major
controversies concerning his life and reign. How did Philip in
roughly twenty years transform a divided territory and little more
than a geographical conception into a national state? How did he
change the very nature of ancient Western warfare? How did he
transform this formerly exploited region into the master of the
Greek world? Each chapter discusses one of the major academic
controversies surrounding this transformative figure, bringing new
clarity to the career of a man whose reputation has been so
overshadowed by his illustrious son.
