[QUOTE="Alegandron, post: 3858682, member: 51347"]More importantly, he was FATHER to Philip II, who was the GREATER man. Philip II was a brilliant man. He rebuilt a shattered kingdom, innovatively rebuilt an Army and a Cavalry, secured mines for financing, ensured brilliant people and generals within his ranks, conquered most of Greece into his Hegemon, and developed a plan and strategy to invade and conquer Persia. He also loved, trained, educated, and tutored his son as a successor. Philip II was assassinated before his time. Alexander INHERITED all this incredible infrastructure, and implemented Philip’s vision. Albeit, brilliantly, as his father would had.
