The discovery created an understandable sensation, and aroused world-wide interest in this extraordinary personality - father of Alexander the Great, one of the greatest Macedonian kings, and also one of the most important political figures of antiquity. Alexander still holds the title of one of the great conquerors, and all the power and mystery that title suggests. Yet Alexander's warrior-father, Phillip paved the way for much of his son's actions.
