Philip’s triumph at Chaeronea shattered Greek independence for generations, reducing once-proud city-states to mere vassals of Macedon. Yet, in this conquest, Philip did more than subjugate Greece—he set the stage for a far greater legacy. His victory laid the very foundations upon which his son, Alexander the Great, would build an empire. With the sword in hand and the ideals of Hellenism in his heart, Alexander would carry Greek culture and influence across continents, spreading the light of Greece to the farthest corners of the known world through his unmatched conquests.
