After a vehement conflict, which well nigh led to fighting and bloodshed, an unlucky compromise was effected: Arrhidaeus, the candidate of the infantry, an epileptic but a son of Philip, and the still unborn son of the Bactrian Roxane — he was born a few weeks later — favoured by the cavalry, were to rule conjointly.

"But Marc might give us a better" suggested Philip. "In its own way" assented Marc "Love is spiritual champagne, the best of wines if the briefest." The characteristic answer set the echoes rocking to Homeric mirth. "A poisonous purple flower"... mostly at a certain age—in short the spiritual measles." A burst of laughter greeted this Irish flight. "Love is a runner in the race of life with the parsley wreath of joy for his prize" said Philip, formulating the sensations of the moment in an aphorism. "Alas, to wear it for a day" said Pattison Ely "he is the bridegroom of Sin and the father of Satiety." "Ah no, but the child of Sin" ...

In Greece Philip, the first unifier, made a rapid but imperfect sketch of unification, the celerity of which had been made possible by the previous and yet looser Spartan domination; and had he been followed by successors... rapidly, needs always as his successor a man with the talent or the genius for organisation rather than an impetus for expansion.
