Philip's troops must have been shocked that day.
In the later battle of Pagassae trying to boost morale he orderd laurels to be worn on helmets. Something that was reserved only for Pythionikoi athlets at that time. He wanted his army to appear as a champion of Apollo.
So whatever happened must have been bad indeed but I doubt if there was mutiny.

Kind regards
