Thessalonike (ca. 342–ca. 295 BCE ), daughter of Philip II of Macedon by Nikesipolis of Pherai (Ath. 11.784c, 13.557c) and thus half‐sister of Alexander III, The Great, became wife to the first non‐Argead ruler of Macedonia, Cassander. Her mother died soon after giving birth to her, and apparently Thessalonike remained, still unmarried, in the entourage of Olympias, until Cassander forced Olympias to surrender at the siege of Pydna in 316 BCE .
