Philip V of Macedon does his best but he's only delaying the inevitable. The Romans are only getting stronger and the days of independence for the Greeks are numbered.

It's finally time to introduce the people who will finally and Greek independence. The city of Rome has risen from being an unnoticed backwater to a major regional power.

A brief look at some famous Greek mathematicians and their groundbreaking discoveries. There are some links on the website to helpful diagrams!

We concentrate now on the Greek and Macedonian part of Alexander's fractured empire.  The Antigonids do their best to hold things together while the cities fight amongst themselves (again!)

Hold on tight everyone as this is a bit of a rollercoaster of a chapter.  Alexander's generals spend forty years fighting over his legacy!

Alexander the Great.  A man who really lives up to his billing... even if he's a bit crazy too!

The King of Macedon goes about executing his plans but comes up against a bit of an issue: his own death!  His successor, though, is just marvellous.

In a quick detour we take a brief look at philosophy in Ancient Greece. We barely scratch the surface but there is plenty of information out there for those who want to dig a bit deeper!

With Greece in disarray, brought to its knees by constant internal warfare, the time is ripe for a confident, clever and determined conqueror to take advantage. Enter Philip II of Macedon.

The title of the chapter says it all. More infighting results in all of the poleis becoming weaker and the city state culture beginning to collapse.
