continue until 2013.) Translations of all primary sources are in Robinson
1953: i; cf. Worthington 2003a. For discussion, see Pearson 1960.
17. On the sources for Alexander, see Bosworth 1988b; cf. Baynham
2003.
18. See Sacks 1990 and Green 2006; see also Sacks 1994 and H ammond
1983.
19. Theopompus, FGrH 115 F27. On Theopompus, see Flower 1994,
especially chapters 5–6 on Theopompus and Philip.
20. Many of the allegations must be taken with a pinch of salt. There is,
for example, no proof that Philip was a pederast: see Worthington 2008:
70.
21. Dem. 1.5, 8.40, 19.265 and 342, 18.48, for example.
22. Cf. Diod. 16.93.3–4, Justin 8.6.5–8, 9.8.6–7.
23. This passage is one of several that has been wrongly interpreted to
mean that Philip sought divine honors in his lifetime or was accorded
them: see further, Worthington 2008: 228–33.
24. On Philip’s preference for diplomacy over military might, and his
use of diplomacy, see Ryder 1994; cf. Cawkwell 1996.
25. Arr. 7.9.2–5; cf. Curt. 10.2.23–4.3. The historicity of the speech is
suspect; cf. Bosworth 1988b: 101–13. On the background to the Opis mutiny,
see Bosworth 1988a: 159–61 and Worthington 2004: 248–52.
26. For a convenient summary of their legacies, cf. Worthington 2008:
204–08; on Philip’s achievements, see ibid. pp. 194–203.
27. On the Lamian War, see Hammond and Walbank 1988: 107–17, for
example.
28. Cf. Bosworth 1986; contra Billows 1995: 183–212.
29. The phrase is diffi cult to translate precisely; literally it would
mean “to do with (?according to) (the) war” but the fi rst six marriages
were not the product of one military engagement. On Philip’s marriages
see further Tronson 1984 and Worthington 2008: 172–74, both also discussing
this phrase. Very good arguments for Philip’s seventh marriage to
Cleopatra being for a political reason, rather than for a personal reason,
as is commonly accepted, are put forward by Carney 2000: 73–74.
30. Arr. 4.19.5, Plut. Alex. 47.7–8; on the political nature of the
marriage, see Worthington 2004: 188–90.
31. Ptolemy, FGrH 138 F30 = Arr. 7.26.3, Diod. 17.117.4.
32. Cf. Hammond 1993c.
33. [Plutarch], Moralia 327c, says that “all of Macedonia was ablaze
with discontent, and was looking to Amyntas and the sons of Aeropus.”
This is hardly true. Antipater immediately proclaimed Alexander king
(Justin 11.1.7–10), the people quickly swore their loyalty to him (Diod.
17.2.1–2), and Alexander embarked on a purge of possible opponents: see
further Worthington 2008: 187–89.
