Biography

Cleopatra was a maiden whom Philip II married either in 338Шаблон:R or 337Шаблон:R BC and was his seventh wife.[2] While Cleopatra was Philip II's seventh wife, she was his first Macedonian wife, and was wed as an alliance between the king and his general, Cleopatra's uncle, Attalus.[1][3] As Philip's wife, Cleopatra was given the name "Eurydice". Although Philip was a polygamist, his marriage to Cleopatra greatly upset Olympias, his fourth wife and the mother of Alexander the Great, and threw Alexander's inheritance into question.[4][5]

According to both JustinШаблон:R and Satyrus,Шаблон:R Cleopatra Eurydice and Philip produced two children, Europa, a girl, and Caranus, a boy.[6] Following Philip's assassination, both children were murdered by Olympias, whereupon Cleopatra took her own life, or her murder by Olympias was made to look like suicide.[4]Шаблон:R[7] Peter Green strongly suggests that Alexander ordered the death of Caranus, but that the deaths of Europa and Cleopatra were the result of Olympias's vindictiveness. Attalus would also be killed in the aftermath of this succession.
