Philip II of Macedon (382 BCE – 336 BCE) was King of Macedon from 359 BCE until his assassination in 336 BCE. He was the father of Alexander the Great, one of history's most successful military commanders.

During his reign, Philip greatly employed the use of horses in his army. Under his leadership, the companion cavalry, the elite cavalry of the Makedonians, was regarded as the best in the ancient world.[1] In 343 BCE, Philip employed the philosopher Aristotle to serve as a tutor to his son Alexander III.[2]
