Cyber day 6

King Philip II

King Philip II of Macedonia was the king of Macedonia from 359 B.C.E until he was assented in 336 B.C.E.  He was part of the Agraed Dynasty.  He was the father of Alexander the Great and Philip III.  King Philip II fought in the Third Sacred war.  When he was in power, he strengthened the military of his city-state.  Without the deeds that Philip II performed, it is likely that Alexander the Great would not be known.

Alexander the Great

Alexander the Great was a king of Macedon and was part of the Argead dynasty. He was born in 356 BC and succeeded the throne at the age of 20.  He established the biggest empire seen in history.
