The Philippos family The Philipposians, (Philippos Meaning friend of horses) are well named. They are descended from a long line of distinguished warrior Macedonian kings who displayed excellent Horsemanship in battle. The name comes from Philip 2nd of Macedon or Philip the One Eyed, father of Alexander The Great from whom this Nobel family is descended through Thessalonike, the daughter of Philip. Philipposians are descended from the Antipatrid dynasty founded by Cassander (302-297 BC); Cassander was the son of Antipater, one of Philip and Alexander’s Generals and husband of Thessalonike.
