Paper Summary:

This six-page paper presents a theoretical discussion about who killed the King of Macedonia, Philip II. The writer moves to explore an idea and theory that is out of the ordinary but still one that has been debated for many years.

From the Paper:

" The history books tell us that Macedonia had a king named Philip the second. We have learned that he was not only a shrewd man, a great strategist but that he was assassinated as well. When looking for the person to blame for his death it is easy to point to the man who actually killed him. That was his right hand man and guard. He went down in history as the person who actually murdered the king. While this fact is not in dispute it does not paint the total picture about how the King died. Over the years many theorists have put together an idea about the King's son, Alexander the Great. After much deliberation there seems to be a group of experts and laymen who believe someone else did the dirty work but it was Alexander himself who arranged the killing."
