Philip II of Macedon suffered from a near-death incident in 336BCE. OTL he survived and led the invasion of Persia, establishing the boundary of the Hellenic World along the Tigris River.

It was widely believed that Alexander had a desire to push east, but OTL he expended his expansionist urgings via the conquest of the rest of what would become the western world: Kush, Punt, Arabia, Yemen, Illyria, Dacia, Cyrenaica, Magna Graecia, Etruscia, Carthage, Numidia, Mauritania, and Spania.

Philipolis literally became the center of half the world.


But what if Philip had died and Alexander had conquered Persia instead of everything else? Might he have continued trekking east and taken India?
