Battle of Volo (Athenian Legacy)

The Battle of Volo (sometimes referred to as the Battle of Crocus Field), was a major battle during the Macedonian invasion of Thesally, fought between the invading Macedonians under King Phillip, and the Athenian Army, under First General Helmetrus. The battle is recorded as the bloodiest in Ancient Greek history, as the Athenians famously encircled and massacred 20,000 Macedonian soldiers near the end. This battle marked the famous end to Phillips Macedonian Hegemony, and the conession of his young son, Alexander, to Athens.
