Philip the One-Eye and the Macedonian Conquest of Greece
Tides of History
Political Maneuvering and Military Conquests of Macedonia
Failure to send a delegation to support Philip could lead to a sacred war, highlighting the significance of allegiance among Greek cities. Demosthenes advocated for preparation for war amid suspicions of bribery against envoys who negotiated peace with Philip, reflecting the tense political climate. Philip's influence was expanding, as evidenced by his backing of pro-Macedonian factions in Euboea and his solidification of control over Thessaly. His military campaigns included a skirmish with the Illyrians, which injured him, and a strategic move to place his son Alexander on the throne of Epirus. The annexation of Thrace marked a critical success, demonstrating Macedonia's drastic transformation from a overshadowed kingdom to a dominant power in the region, effectively controlling its neighbors and altering the balance of power in Greece.
