Everything Everywhere Daily - Phillip II of Macedon

Alexander the Great was one of the most famous people from the ancient world. 

He defeated a vastly larger Persian Empire and conquered everything from Egypt to India. 

Yet, what Alexander achieved wouldn’t have been possible without his father. In fact, if Alexander hadn’t accomplished what he did, his father would probably be the one given the title “great.”

Learn more about Philip II of Macedon and how he changed the world of Ancient Greece and laid the foundations for his son on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
