King of Macedonia from 359 BC. He seized the
throne from his nephew, for whom he was
regent, conquered the Greek city states, and
formed them into a league whose forces could
be united against Persia. He was assassinated
while he was planning this expedition, and
was succeeded by his son Alexander the Great.
His tomb was discovered at Vergina, N Greece,
in 1978.
