The Man Who Built Alexander the Great (And Why History Forgot Him)
Everyone knows Alexander the Great. But history forgot the one-eyed genius who actually built the unstoppable Macedonian war machine: his father, Philip II. Without Philip, Alexander would just be a footnotes in history. In this video, we dive deep into the insane life of Philip II of Macedon. From being a hostage in Thebes to transforming a backward kingdom into the dominant superpower of the ancient world, Philip reinvented warfare with the Macedonian phalanx and the deadly sarissa pike. We’ll explore his brilliant military tactics, his chaotic personal life (including 7 wives), his fierce rivalry with Athens, and the mysterious assassination that cut his ultimate dream short. Was Philip actually a greater military mind than his famous son?
