The Athenians Didn't Have Anything to Do With the Peloponnesian War
A lot of the people I've read lately are of and this changes are of the opinion that Olympias probably didn't have anything to do with what happened to Philip. But maybe most likely on this assassination list who paid for the killing, who hired murder incorporated the Persians. Persia has no doubt that Philip's coming to invade them. He's already basically publicly proclaimed it. It's going to happen. So if you kill him, maybe it won't. You can see why so many historians would love if they could just throw all this stuff out is unreliable and biased but if you do, you're not left with a whole lot, right?
