Start your free trial TODAY so you can watch the series Ancient Warriors and learn more about why the Macedonians were so successful on the battlefield as well as watch the rest of MagellanTV’s history collection: magellantv.com/series/ancient-warriors
In this program we take a look at one of the ancient world's most cunning, capable and just all out great generals and military tacticians - Philip II of Macedon. Though overshadowed by the conquests of his son, it's likely that without his father Philip, the man who would become Alexander the Great would not have accomplished all that he did. It was Philip who reformed the Macedonian army, transformed Macedon from a poor backwater into a military powerhouse, conquered most of Greece and set the stage for the conquest of the Persian Empire. Without him, Alexander may have been little more than the ruler of a petty little kingdom in what's today northern Greece. For these and other reasons, the life of Philip II of Macedon should be studied.
