While King Philip II of Macedon was preparing to attack at Thermopylae, Onomarchus's brother Phayllus took command and began the defense. Phayllus managed to keep Philip out with a heroic stand. Phalaecus succeeded Phocis but stood little chance of turning the war around in the face of the fatal alliance of King Philip and Thebes.
