By place Greece • At a
Pan-Hellenic Conference in
Corinth,
Philip II of Macedon announces the formation of the
League of Corinth to liberate the Greek cities of
Asia Minor from
Persian rule, ostensibly because the Persian King,
Arses, refuses to make reparations to Philip for
Artaxerxes III's aid to the city of
Perinthus when it was resisting Philip. All the Greek cities (except
Sparta) and the Greek islands swear their support to the league and to recognise Philip as president of the League. Philip establishes a council of representatives from all the Greek states, which is empowered to deliberate and decide on the actions to be taken. However, the real power lies with Philip who is declared commander of the League's army. •
Olympias is put aside by her husband Philip II, following Philip's marriage to a girl named
Cleopatra (who is renamed Eurydice). Their son,
Alexander, is effectively disowned by Philip's actions. Philip II has
Ptolemy, along with other companions of his son, exiled.
