According to Plutarch this was because Olympias, Alexander&#039;s mother, tried to poison him to give no rivals to Alexander ascending to the throne.&nbsp; Alexander liked Philip III and he accompanied him on the campaign through Persia.&nbsp; When he reigned in Makedonon 323-317 BCE, he was more of a figurehead.&nbsp; Alexander&#039;s son, Alexander IV (born Aug-323 - after his father&#039;s death), succeeded to the throne and reigned 317-309 BCE until he was killed by Cassander, who assumed the throne.&nbsp; Alexander IV was 14 when he was assassinated, which would had been the age where he could have full authority as king under Makedonon law.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
