Philip III and Alexander&#039;s infant son, Alexander IV, were made joint kings after Alexander&#039;s death in 223 B.C. Alexander the Great&#039;s mother, Olympias, allegedly poisoned her stepson Philip III as a child, leaving him mentally disabled, eliminating him as a rival to Alexander. Neither Philip III nor Alexander IV was capable of actual rule and both were selected only to serve as pawns. Perdikkas held power, while Philip III was actually imprisoned. In 317, Philip III was murdered by Olympias to ensure the succession of her grandson.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
