Philip ({{lang-el| Φίλιππος}}, died about 318 BC) was a Greek Macedonian nobleman who lived during the 4th century BC. Early lifePhilip was the son of Amyntas by an unnamed mother.[1] He served as a military officer in the service of the Greek king Alexander the Great. Philip was known to have commanded one division of the phalanx in Alexander’s wars[2] and, in particular, he commanded one of the divisions of the phalanx at the Battle of the Granicus in May 334 BC.[3] His name does not subsequently appear in the campaigns of Alexander, but can be at least distinctly identified.[4] Based on information provided by Plutarch (Pyrrhus 4.4), before Philip married Berenice he was already married and had children from those marriages.[5] The identities of his former wife and children are unknown. Marriage to Berenice IIn c. 325 BC, Philip married Berenice I as her first husband.[6] Pausanias (1.7.1), criticises his marriage to Berenice I and describes him as "a Macedonian but of no note and of lowly origin". The ancient sources don’t say anything else about him and there is no evidence against this.[7] Philip must have been a nobleman of some social status and influence as he married the great-niece of the powerful Regent Antipater and the grandchild of Antipater’s brother Cassander.[8] Berenice bore Philip three children:
DeathPhilip died of unknown causes. After his death, Berenice and her children travelled to Egypt, where they were a part of the entourage of Berenice’s second maternal cousin Eurydice. Eurydice was then the wife of Ptolemy I Soter. By 317 BC, Berenice married Ptolemy I and became the queen mother of the Ptolemaic dynasty. As a posthumous honour to Philip; his son Magas, when he served as a priest of the Greek God Apollo, had dedicated an honorific inscription proudly naming him as "the eponymous priest" and "Magas, son of Philip".[12] References1. ^Ancient Library article: Philippus no. 5 2. ^Ancient Library article: Magas no.1 3. ^Arrian, Anab. 14.3 4. ^Ancient Library article: Philippus no. 5 5. ^Ptolemaic Genealogy: Berenice I, Footnote 6 6. ^Berenice I article at Livius.org 7. ^Ptolemaic Genealogy: Berenice I, Footnote 5 8. ^Ptolemaic Genealogy: Berenice I 9. ^Ptolemaic Genealogy: Berenice I 10. ^Ptolemaic Genealogy: Berenice I 11. ^Ptolemaic Genealogy: Berenice I 12. ^Ptolemaic Genealogy: Magas of Cyrene, Footnote 2 Sources
