誰が アンティパトロス2世 と結婚しましたか?

アンティパトロス2世

アンティパトロス2世(希:Ἀντίπατρος Β', ラテン文字:Antipatros II, ? - 紀元前294年, 在位:紀元前297年 - 紀元前294年)は、アンティパトロス朝のマケドニア王である。

アンティパトロス2世は、アンティパトロス朝を開いたカッサンドロスとアレクサンドロス3世(大王)の異母妹のテッサロニカとの子(次男)である。カッサンドロスの死後、アンティパトロス2世の兄ピリッポス4世が王位についたものの在位短く早世したため、アンティパトロス2世は弟のアレクサンドロス5世と共に王位についた。彼は王国の分割に当たって弟を贔屓したとして命乞いにもかかわらず母を殺し、王位を奪われたアレクサンドロス5世は母の復讐のため兄と一戦交えようとデメトリオス1世を呼び込んだ。トラキア王リュシマコスは娘婿のアンティパトロス2世を説得し、和解を促した(アンティパトロス2世の妃はリュシマコスの娘エウリュディケ (en)である)。しかし、イプソスの戦いで敗れて以来、捲土重来を目論んでいたデメトリオス1世はカッサンドロスの悪行を大義名分としてアレクサンドロス5世を殺して自らが王位につき、アンティパトロス2世を王位より放逐した。

一方、トラキア人の王ドロミカイデスと戦っていたリュシマコスはデメトリオス1世との二正面での戦いを嫌い、アンティパトロス2世の支援を取りやめ、アンティパトロス2世のマケドニアの領地をデメトリオス1世が掌握することを認めた。これによってアンティパトロス2世は王位と領土を失った。その後、アンティパトロス2世はリュシマコスに騙されたと不平を漏らしたため、リュシマコスによって殺された。こうしてアンティパトロス朝は短命のうちに滅亡し、アンティパトロス2世の死によって、カッサンドロスとテッサロニカの直系子孫は断絶した。

紀元前279年にアンティパトロス2世の従兄弟にあたるアンティパトロス・エテシアスが一時的にアンティパトロス朝を再興させるも、在位して2ヶ月も経たぬうちに彼は親族のソステネスに王位を奪われ、ソステネスも紀元前277年には暗殺されるという不安定な短命の王朝に終わった。

エウリュディケ (リュシマコスの娘)

Eurydice (Greek: Εὐρυδίκη) was a Greek Princess who was of Macedonian and Thessalian descent.

She was the first daughter and second child born to the diadochus who was King of Thrace, Asia Minor and Macedonia, Lysimachus from his first wife the Queen consort, Nicaea of Macedon. Eurydice had one older brother called Agathocles and a younger sister called Arsinoe. Her paternal grandfather was Agathocles of Pella a nobleman who was a contemporary of King Philip II of Macedon who reigned 359 BC-336 BC, while her maternal grandfather was the powerful Regent Antipater.

Eurydice was named in honor of her maternal aunt Eurydice of Egypt, another daughter of Antipater, who was one of the wives of the Greek Pharaoh Ptolemy I Soter. The name Eurydice, is a dynastic name of the Argead dynasty (see Eurydice-Historical women). The name also reveals her relations to the Argead dynasty as her maternal grandfather and her maternal great-uncle Cassander were distant collateral relatives to the Argead dynasty.

At an unknown date, Lysimachus renamed the city Smyrna to Eurydiceia in honor of Eurydice, an innovation that did not last long. Lysimachus issued coinage depicting Eurydice on the obverse as a veiled woman, although Eurydice never owned nor had any control of the city. Little is known on her life prior to marrying.

Lysimachus gave Eurydice in marriage to her maternal cousin Antipater I, the son of the rulers of Macedonia, Cassander and Thessalonike. Eurydice's marriage to Antipater I, thereby extended into the next generation the historical link between Thrace and Macedonia. In her life, Eurydice was a participant in the never ending conflict over control of Macedonia in the generations after the death of Alexander the Great.

Antipater I was co-King of Macedonia from 297 BC-294 BC with his brother Alexander V and through marriage, she became a Queen consort. On the death of her maternal uncle Cassander, his wife Thessalonike divided the kingdom into two: one part to be ruled by Antipater I ’s youngest brother Alexander V and his wife Lysandra and the other part to be ruled by Antipater I and Eurydice. Antipater I wanted the whole kingdom to rule for himself and had his mother killed.

Alexander V appealed to Pyrrhus and Demetrius I Poliorcetes for help and protection from his older brother. Pyrrhus did in exchange of two Upper Macedonian cantons. When Demetrius I arrived with his troops he had Alexander V murdered and drove out Antipater and Eurydice out of Macedonia. Demetrius I then made himself master of Macedonia. Eurydice and Antipater I returned to her father and his wife Arsinoe II. Lysimachus made peace with Demetrius I, which resulted in Antipater quarrelling with Lysimachus about his Macedonian inheritance and Lysimachus had put Antipater I to death. Eurydice siding with her cousin-husband was put into prison by her father and probably died there.
