释义 |
Philip ({{lang-el| Φίλιππος}}, died about 328 BC) was a Macedonian soldier under Alexander the Great. Philip was the youngest of four sons born to Agathocles[1][2] and his wife, possibly 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.[3] His father was a nobleman of high rank who was a close friend and advisor of King Philip II of Macedon and became a favourite in the Argead court.[4] Philip and his brothers grew up being regarded as Macedonians. Philip and his brothers enjoyed prominent positions in King Alexander the Great’s circle[5] and they were educated at the court at Pella.[6] Philip and his brothers served as a royal Hypaspists[7] in the service of Alexander. Not long after the death of Cleitus the Black, Philip accompanied Alexander on foot, refusing the mount of Lysimachus’ horse who rode nearby.[8] He remained near Alexander’s side, both in the pursuit of the supporters of Spitamenes, his Sogdian rebels and their cavalry.[9] Philip finally collapsed from exhaustion and died in Alexander’s arms.[10][11] In his military actions, Philip was trying to emulate his second eldest brother, Lysimachus.[12] References1. ^Lund, Lysimachus: A Study in Early Hellenistic Kingship, p.3 2. ^Heckel, Who’s who in the age of Alexander the Great: prosopography of Alexander’s empire, p.154 3. ^Lysimachus’ article at Livius.org 4. ^Lund, Lysimachus: A Study in Early Hellenistic Kingship, p.2 5. ^Lund, Lysimachus: A Study in Early Hellenistic Kingship, p.2 6. ^Heckel, Who’s who in the age of Alexander the Great: prosopography of Alexander’s empire, p.153 7. ^Heckel, Who’s who in the age of Alexander the Great: prosopography of Alexander’s empire, p.154 8. ^Heckel, Who’s who in the age of Alexander the Great: prosopography of Alexander’s empire, p.154 9. ^Lund, Lysimachus: A Study in Early Hellenistic Kingship, p.3 10. ^Heckel, Who’s who in the age of Alexander the Great: prosopography of Alexander’s empire, p.154 11. ^Lund, Lysimachus: A Study in Early Hellenistic Kingship, p.3 12. ^Lund, Lysimachus: A Study in Early Hellenistic Kingship, p.3 Sources
