This episode is a short investigation into the lives of two Kings of Macedon, Philip and Alexander. Without going into too much detail this will set up the following episodes on the Celtic migrations into the Mediterranean world. I spend much of the time discussing Philip’s reign as that is not talked about as often. I also go into some anecdotes related to the Celts and Alexander in the historical record, but this episode is not as focused on the Celts as they do not feature much in the stories of Philip and Alexander.
