The Story of Philip
The Wedding at Aigai
On an October day in 336 BC, Philip attended his daughter Cleopatra's wedding at Aigai. He walked into the theater without bodyguards to show he trusted his people. His guard Pausanias stepped forward and drove a knife into his ribs. Philip died on the stone floor of the theater. He was forty-six. His son Alexander inherited the army Philip had built, the alliances Philip had forged, and the invasion plan Philip had drawn. Everything Alexander conquered, he conquered with his father's tools.
