Strabo – “Geography”
“There remain of Europe, first, Macedonia and the parts of Thrace that are contiguous to it and extend as far as Byzantium; secondly, Greece; and thirdly, the islands that are close by. Macedonia, of course, is a part of Greece, yet now, since I am following the nature and shape of the places geographically, I have decided to classify it apart from the rest of Greece and to join it with that part of Thrace which borders on it and extends as far as the mouth of the Euxine and the Propontis. Then, a little further on, Strabo mentions Cypsela and the Hebrus River, and also describes a sort of parallelogram in which the whole of Macedonia lies.”

Quanta Philippi <strong>in</strong> educando filio solertia fuerit, Epistola docamento<br />
est, qua sibi gratulatus fuit, quod iis temporibus filio auctus sit, quae<br />
Aristotelem dare praeceptorem poss<strong>in</strong>t, qui patriae urbis <strong>in</strong>staurationem<br />
prsemium laboris ab rege tulit. Assidui an tern nutritores et paedagogi<br />
fuerunt, Leonidas, Lysimachus Arcanan, et ejusdem gentis Philippus,<br />
rector valetud<strong>in</strong>is. Eloquentiae magistro usus est Anaximene Lampsaceno,<br />
cujus cailiditati postmodum eversionem patriae donavit, Homeri<br />
earm<strong>in</strong>a tanti fecit, ut nunquam Iliadem non comitem haberet. Praesagium<br />
militaris magnitud<strong>in</strong>is <strong>in</strong> Bucephalo puer Alexander dedit, quern<br />
mirifice, umbrae ratione habita, ita rexit domuitque, ut pater, om<strong>in</strong>e <strong>in</strong>de<br />
capto, exclaniarit, aliud filio regnum qucerendum esse, quoniam Macedonia<br />
non caperet. Dec<strong>in</strong>ium annum et septimum agebat, cum pater Byzantium<br />
oppugnans ipsi adm<strong>in</strong>istrationem regni commisisset. Rebellavit<br />
turn Thraciae quaedam civitas, quam adolescens, collectis, qui domi<br />
relicti erant, militibus, improvisa celeritate oppressit, et urbem convenis<br />
habitandam dedit, qui earn Alexandriam appellavere.<br />
Sed cum male<br />
procederet Byzant<strong>in</strong>a obsidio, (Atheniensium classe obsessis suppetias<br />
ferente,) Philippus filio usus ad subigenda Chersonesi oppida. Idem<br />
cum ex Getico bello redux per Triballos iter faceret, et Graeci mercenarii<br />
milites praedae societatem postularent, altercatione <strong>in</strong> pugnam erumpente,<br />
ipte rex, equo <strong>in</strong>terfecto, vulneratur, quern clypeo Alexander jacentem<br />
texit, irruentium alios occidit, alios armis longius <strong>in</strong>de propulsavit.<br />
Jam<br />
tantus evaserat Alexander, ut s<strong>in</strong>e rectore aut custode exercitui posse<br />
praefici videretur, quam de se op<strong>in</strong>ionem <strong>in</strong> Illyrios missus victoriis confirmavit.<br />
Philippus artibus consecutus est, ut Graecia servitutis jugum<br />
acciperet. Ultro enim quietos lacessere, <strong>in</strong>ter concordantes odia <strong>in</strong>struere,<br />
dissidentium rixas alere, ita alterutram partem juvare, ut utramque<br />
opprimeret, solennis illi consuetudo fuit. Pauci expertes ejus domi<br />
nationis erant, quos Demosthenis eloquentia <strong>in</strong> libertate sustentabat.<br />
Sed et horum tandem ad Chaeroneam victor, facile obt<strong>in</strong>uit Philippus,<br />
ut imperator Graeciae adversus Persas crearetur.<br />
Bellicis rebus plerumque<br />
Alexander, etiam ad Chaeroneam praelio, <strong>in</strong>tererat, <strong>in</strong> quo penes<br />
ipsum victoria stetisse dicitur. In cornu enim, cui praeerat, <strong>in</strong>itium<br />
v<strong>in</strong>cendi factum, sacra Thebanorum cohorte, quae ex lectissimis constabat,<br />
fortiter profligata. Caeterum a patre aliquando aberat, causae matris<br />
<strong>in</strong>serviens, cui Philippus Cleopatram super<strong>in</strong>duxerat, <strong>in</strong> cujus nuptiis<br />
parum abfuit, qu<strong>in</strong> Alexander, novae prolis voto, quod Attalus fecerat,<br />
reclamans, a patre <strong>in</strong>terficeretur.<br />
Philippus, dux belli a Graecis factus,<br />
bellum Persicum molitus est, praemisso Attalo et Parmenione cum copiarum<br />
parte, ut Graecas <strong>in</strong> Asia civitates liberarent. Ipse oraculo laetus,<br />
seu potius deceptus, jam cepisse sibi orientem videbatur.<br />
