We start of at 346, Phillip is elected president of the Pythian Games. Demosthenes gives his "About Peace" speech, which gives us many clues about Athens felt at this specific time period. We have a few battles with Illirian tribes in the North of Macedonia. The Thessalians are not feeling loved and Alexander will have his first contact with Voukefalas, or Bucephalus, the greatest of all the horses.

I begin todays episode in the year 358, Phillip is looking to secure some sort of an economic stability for his kingdom so he set his sight on the nearby mines.
Then he decides to siege Aphipolis in the year 357, which went really well, for Phillip that is, not so much the Athenians that loved having some sort of control of the city.
I say a few words about the Social War, a nice little whore story, staring our friend Demosthenes and Laida, and some other things that happened in the year 358 to 356.
