Alexander I of Epirus
Alexander I of Epirus (ca. 362–330 bce ), also known as Molossian, was the son of Neoptolemos and brother of Olympias, who in 357 was given as wife to Philip II of Macedon by her uncle Arybbas, king of the Molossians (on Alexander's genealogy, Just. Epit . 7.6.10–11; 8.6.5–6; on Molossians and Epirus in the fourth century bce , Funke 2000: 159–88).
Amyntas III , father of Philip II
Amyntas III became king of Macedonia in 394/3 bce after a six‐year dynastic struggle. He was the grandson of Amyntas, a son of Alexander I, and the son of Arrhidaios. Amyntas III's reign offered little stability to Macedonia, because the king had to contend with two aggressive neighbors, the Illyrians in the West and the Chalcidian League led by Olynthos in the East. Amyntas was driven out of his country by Illyrians who invaded Macedonia, and gi…
Amyntas, son of Perdikkas III
Amyntas was the son of Perdikkas III and a nephew of Philip II. He was the rightful heir to the kingdom of Macedonia at the time of his father's death (360/59 bce ), but he was too young to reign: for this reason, the Macedonians chose his uncle Philip, who acted either as regent or directly as king. Philip II kept Amyntas alive. After Philip's death, in the late summer of 336 bce , Alexander, the new king, killed his cousin Amyntas, on the groun…
Amyntas I, Macedonian king
Amyntas I (sixth century bce ), son of Alketas and father of Alexander I, known as the Philhellene, is the first truly historic figure of the kings of Macedonia. Amyntas ruled at the time when the Persian general Megabazos defeated the Paionians in about 512 bce , and at Megabazos’ request became a Persian vassal. The king is supposed to have been a friend of the Peisistratids and is assumed to have died in about 498.
Kassandreia
In 316 bce , on the Pallene isthmus (western part of the Chalcidian peninsula), Cassander, Antipatros’ son, who had just returned victorious to Macedonia after an exile of about three years, founded a new city called Kassandreia after his own name. Under the reign of Cassander and Lysimachos, the city received the status of allied city, formally independent from the kingdom of Macedonia. In 276 bce , Antigonos Gonatas, who had just become king of…
The Antigonids and the Ruler Cult. Global and Local Perspectives
Demetrius Poliorketes is considered by modern scholars the true founder of ruler cult. In particular the Athenians attributed him several divine honors between 307 and 290 BC. The ancient authors in general consider these honors in a negative perspective, while offering words of appreciation about an ideal sovereignty intended as a glorious form of servitude and embodied in Antigonus Gonatas, Demetrius Poliorketes’ son and heir. An analysis of th…
POxy LXXI 4808
This paper starts with a fresh survey of the textual problems of POxy LXXI 4808, accompanied by a recent photograph, and then turns to problems relating to the content. Careful analysis is devoted to the way in which the anonymous author of the text presents a series of historians: three historians of Alexander (Onesicritus, Chares and Cleitarchus), Hieronymus of Cardia and Polybius of Megalopolis. Particular emphasis is laid on the fact that the…
Philip III Arrhidaios
Philip III Arrhidaios (ca. 355–317 BCE ) was the son of Philip II of Macedon and of Philine of Larissa. He suffered from a mental illness that saved him from Alexander III, The Great's purges in 336, thus allowing him to receive the kingship after Alexander's death.
Philippi
The monumental archaeological ruins of Philippi, still visible about 10 km north of Kavala in eastern Macedonia between the Strymon and Nestos rivers, testify to the importance of the city in the Roman imperial age, when it was a “miniature Rome” (Torelli and Mavrojannis 1997: 260).
Alexander I of Macedon
Alexander I of Macedon (died ca. 452 bce ), also known as the Philhellene (Harp. s.v. Alexandros ; schol. Thuc. 1.57.2; Dio. Chrys 2.23), son of Amyntas I, is the first welldocumented king of Macedonia.
Alexander of Pherai
Alexander of Pherai was “tyrant” of his city and tagos (i.e., master) of Thessaly from 369 to 358 BCE .
Cleopatra, daughter of Philip II
Cleopatra (ca. 353–308 bce ), daughter of Philip II of Macedon and Olympias, sister of Alexander the Great.
Alexander II of Macedon
Alexander II of Macedon (ca. 390–368 bce ), eldest son of Amyntas III and Eurydike, became king in 370 at his father's death (Diod. Sic. 15.60.3; 16.2.4; see Hammond and Griffith 1979: 179–82; Borza 1990: 189–91; Errington 1990: 35–6).
