The Fractured Kingdom: How Alexander’s Exile Divided Macedonia – Ep 8

With the campaign against Persia in preparation, news of Philip’s new marriage weighed on Alexander. At the banquet, Attalus’s provocation and the prince’s impetuous reaction exposed the family before everyone; Philip, drunk, stumbled with sword in hand. Alexander sensed the risk and left for Illyria, where he was received by old allies. In Pella, Olympias stitched together support and spread doubts about the succession. Aware of the danger of a kingdom without an adult heir, Philip sent envoys to make peace. When he returned, Alexander was less impetuous and more attentive to the games of the court. The separation, brief but decisive, prepared him for what was to come.
