Example text
T he permanent business of the Council was to be entrusted to a directorate of five members; because Macedonia was not a member of the League Philip was to be excluded from them. His position was to be that of generalissimo of the League forces, and as such he was to be elected hegemon for life. Each member of the League was to be protected by the combined forces of the League. Existing constitutions were to remain undisturbed and no tribute was to be exacted. T he Federal Council was to act as the supreme tribunal, empowered to take what action it thought fit against a transgressor of the treaty; and should war be declared, the hegemon was to decide the contingents each member should furnish, and conduct the war on the part of the League.
The Royal Army consisted of two forces, the Royal Companion Cavalry and the Royal Hypaspists. T he former Philip formed out of the Royal Squadron of the Companions by expanding it to eight squadrons or tlai\ each tie numbered from 200 to 300 horsemen armed with the xyston, and the whole was placed under the command of a cavalry leader. In this expansion the original squadron was not deprived of its duty of protecting the king in battle and remained his mounted body-guard; it is sometimes referred to as the agema of the Companions.
And in his Philippics1 commended to Philip a Panhellenic programme. ‘We are fighting one another about trifles’, he wrote to Philip and added that there was no other way for Hellas to live in peace ‘except by the determination of the leading states to make up their mutual quarrels and carry the war into Asia’. e. e. the orators]’ and ‘who regard peace, which is for the public advantage, as a war against their own private interests’, but instead to act in a manner ‘whereby you will both gain the confidence of the Hellenes and inspire the barbarians with fear’.
