Bircenna (Ancient Greek: Βιρκέννα; ruled ''c.'' 292 – 272 BC) was an Illyrian princess and later an Epirote queen. Bircenna was the daughter of Bardylis II of the Dardanian Kingdom.〔(The Ancient Library - Bardyllis )〕 Bircenna was one of the five wives of Pyrrhus of Epirus; she married him around 292 BC.〔The Cambridge Ancient History By F. W. Walbank, A. E. Astin, M. W. Frederiksen〕〔(Plut. Pyrrh. 9.)〕 Pyrrhus married Bircenna for diplomatic reasons and to increase his power in southern Illyria as he was an ally of Bircenna's father. Bircenna had a son named Helenus, who at an early age accompanied his father in his ambitious campaigns conducted in the Italian peninsula.〔Plutarch, "Parallel Lives: Pyrrhus", § nine〕 Lanassa, one of the wives of Pyrrhus, left him because she claimed that he took better care of his 'barbarian' wives.〔Diodorus Siculus, Bibliotheca historica 22.8.2〕 ==See also== *Bardyllis *Cleitus the Illyrian *Bardyllis II 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bircenna」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
