      After reading this, I think the arguement that Alexander was on a Pan-Hellenic mission, comes from Isocrates admonitions to Phillip to take something like it, up.

      I also noted the author using the term "phil-hellene" to describe a later/earlier? Macedonian monarch.

      It is easy to for Europeans to make the connection between "phil-hellene" and "pan-hellene", and it suites the Modern propoganda of the New Greeks to here this being said about some of the ancient Macedonians, but as Eugene Borza has pointed out, Alexander had very few Greeks in his army, and the idea that he set out to Hellenize Persia is absolutely false.

      I don't think Isocrates letters/comments, would change that position.
