This book aims to highlight the leadership and immense work of Philip II, the father of Alexander the Great, filling an important gap in Greek literature.

Philip II was one of the greatest figures of the ancient Greek world, laying the foundations for the spread of Hellenism to the ends of the earth, a task successfully accomplished by Alexander the Great. However, none of this would have been achieved without Philip, who inherited the kingdom of Macedonia on the brink of destruction, but with his enormous military, political, and diplomatic abilities, transformed it into the most powerful force in the Greek world, on military, economic, and demographic levels, establishing an empire.

Undoubtedly, his achievements are impressive and rightfully place him among the greatest Greeks of all time.
