First sentence: THE assassination of Philip of Macedon, which occurred in the year 336 B. C., was one of the most important in ancient history, not only because it terminated the glorious career of one of the most remarkable men of his times, but also because it led immediately to the accession of Alexander, one of the supremely great men of history, - an event which would very likely not have taken place at all if Philip had continued to live for a number of years and had himself selected the successor to his throne.
