Another observation. Polyaenus (4.2.7) has this to say about Philip leading his army at Chaeronea:
[quote]At Chaeronea Philip, being in formation facing the Athenians, gave way and retired. The Athenian commander, Stratocles, shouted out “we must not stop pressing the enemy hard until we drive them into Macedoniaâ€
