Interpretive claim about Philip's assassination in this lecture.

diagnosis

Jiang argues that Olympias and Alexander had both motive and opportunity: Philip's death made Alexander king at Macedon's height, prevented Philip from possibly replacing him, and was followed by Olympias honoring Pausanias.

Speculative evaluation in lecture published 2024-05-24.

diagnosis

The foreign-adversary theory is possible but weak in Jiang's analysis because a foreign government would face severe opportunity problems and an unclear motive for killing Raisi.
