Macedonian Conquest

Philip II’s conquests during the Third Sacred War cemented his power, as well as the influence of Macedon, throughout the Hellenic world.

In a little over 30 years, Alexander the Great created one of the largest empires in the ancient world, using his military and tactical genius.

Alexander the Great's legacy was the dissemination of Greek culture throughout Asia.

Four stable power blocks emerged following the death of Alexander the Great: the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, the Seleucid Empire, the Attalid Dynasty of the Kingdom of Pergamon, and Macedon.
