    DIRECTIONS: Read the passage below.


    Circle any dates that you find and
    label the dates on the timeline below. Afterwards, answer the questions
    that follow on page 13.
    Around 380 BCE, Macedon was one of the poorest city-states in
    Greece. Other city-states, like Athens and Corinth, looked down
    upon the Macedonians. These parts of Greece made money
    through trade. They could trade easily because they were next
    to the Mediterranean Sea. Macedon was not next to the sea so
    the Macedonians were not as wealthy as the Athenians and
    Corinthians.
    Born in 382 BCE, Phillip was the son of a king. In his youth, Phillip was
    captured and held hostage in Thebes, the leading Greek city at the time.
    While in captivity, Phillip received a military and diplomatic education from a
    leading Greek scholar. When Phillip returned to Macedon after being freed in
    364 BCE, he had a plan. After the death of his brother in 359 BCE, Phillip
    became the king of Macedon. Phillip was tired of his people being the poorest
    in Greece; he thought it wasnt fair. The Macedonians had a strong army, and
    Phillip had received military training in his childhood. Phillip used his army to
    conquer other city-states in Greece. That way, the Macedonians could get
    money and food by trading on the Mediterranean Sea.
    Phillip was a fierce warrior. In 358 BCE, Phillip married Audara, the greatgranddaughter of an Illyrian king. Despite his marriage to Audara, Phillip led
    his army against her people in 357 BCE, killing 7,000 Illyrians in the battle.
    The next year, Phillip and Audara gave birth to Alexander. Born in 356 BCE,
    Alexander would eventually take over his fathers growing empire, learning
    to fight ferociously, just like his father. In 354 BCE, Phillip led a battle against
    the city of Methone, the last city controlled by the Athenian city-state.
    Phillips army was victorious in war, but Phillip lost his eye after a brutal
    battle.
    By 338 BC, King Phillip had taken control of all of Greece. The Macedonians
    went from being the poorest people in Greece to being the rulers of Greece.
    In 336 BCE, Phillip was assassinated and his son, Alexander, took control of
    the growing Greek empire. Alexander would become known as Alexander the
    Great, a powerful king responsible for spreading Greek culture to most of the
    known world. But Alexanders kingdom would not have been possible without
    his father, Phillip II.
