Philip ((ギリシア語: Φίλιππος), flourished 4th century BC, died about 328 BC) was a Greek nobleman who was a Macedonian Thessalian. Philip was the youngest of four sons born to Agathocles〔Lund, ''Lysimachus: A Study in Early Hellenistic Kingship'', p.3〕〔Heckel, ''Who’s who in the age of Alexander the Great: prosopography of Alexander’s empire'', p.154〕 and his wife, perhaps named Arsinoe. His paternal grandfather may have been called Alcimachus and one of his brothers was Lysimachus one of the Diadochi of Alexander the Great.〔(Lysimachus’ article at Livius.org )〕 His father was a nobleman of high rank who was an intimate friend of King Philip II of Macedon, who shared in Philip II’s councils and became a favorite in the Argead court.〔Lund, ''Lysimachus: A Study in Early Hellenistic Kingship'', p.2〕 Philip with his brothers grew up with the status of Macedonians; he with his brothers enjoyed prominent positions in King Alexander the Great’s circle〔Lund, ''Lysimachus: A Study in Early Hellenistic Kingship'', p.2〕 and Philip with his brothers were educated at the court at Pella.〔Heckel, ''Who’s who in the age of Alexander the Great: prosopography of Alexander’s empire'', p.153〕 Philip served as a royal Hypaspist〔Heckel, ''Who’s who in the age of Alexander the Great: prosopography of Alexander’s empire'', p.154〕 in the service of Alexander with his brothers. Not so long after the death of Cleitus the Black, Philip accompanied Alexander with 500 stades on foot, refusing the mount of Lysimachus’ horse who rode nearby.〔Heckel, ''Who’s who in the age of Alexander the Great: prosopography of Alexander’s empire'', p.154〕 He remained near Alexander’s side, both in the pursuit of the supporters of Sisimithres; his Sogdianan rebels and their cavalry.〔Lund, ''Lysimachus: A Study in Early Hellenistic Kingship'', p.3〕 In what followed after, Philip finally collapsed from exhaustion and died in Alexander’s arms.〔Heckel, ''Who’s who in the age of Alexander the Great: prosopography of Alexander’s empire'', p.154〕〔Lund, ''Lysimachus: A Study in Early Hellenistic Kingship'', p.3〕 In his military actions, Philip was trying to emulate his second eldest brother, Lysimachus.〔Lund, ''Lysimachus: A Study in Early Hellenistic Kingship'', p.3〕 Philip had two nephews who were his namesakes: Philip the second son of his first eldest brother Alcimachus of Apollonia〔Heckel, ''Who’s who in the age of Alexander the Great: prosopography of Alexander’s empire'', p.9〕 and Philip one of the sons of Lysimachus.〔(Lysimachus’ article at Livius.org )〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Philip (son of Agathocles of Pella)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
