352 BCE

Philip’s Thessalian victory meanwhile earns him election as president (archon) of the Thessalian League (probably 352), a position unique for a foreigner in a Greek confederation (and one that is to bind Thessaly to the kings of Macedonia for one hundred and fifty years and more).

Having already perhaps been officially recognized as ruler of Thessaly before the Crocus Field, Philip now takes over Thessaly in the full sense, acquiring its ports and its revenues.

A further asset is the Thessalian cavalry (which will be used to augment Macedon's own “companion cavalry” in the great battles of his son Alexander's early years in Asia.)
