but it was a very, very harsh
-
kind of warfare that Philip carried forward.
-
He destroyed the cities physically,
-
he enslaved what was left of the population
-
and so this was a message.
-
I think it wasn't just that he had a cruel temperament,
-
though I suppose he must have had that too,
-
but it was meant to be exemplary.
-
It was meant to say when Philip says do this, do it,
-
because if you don't, he will crush you and
-
this is what will happen to your city and to you.

That's an old technique.
