Cleopatra Eurydice of Macedon
Eurydice (Greek: Εὐρυδίκη), born Cleopatra (Greek: Κλεοπάτρα) was a mid-4th century BCE Macedonian noblewoman, niece of Attalus, and last of the seven wives of Philip II of Macedon.
== Biography ==
Cleopatra was a maiden whom Philip married either in 338 or 337 BCE.〔(Plutarch, ''The Life of Alexander'', 9 )〕 As Philip's wife, Cleopatra was given the name "Eurydice". Although Philip was a polygamist, his marriage to Cleopatra greatly upset Olympias, and threw Alexander the Great's heirship into question.
According to both Justin and Satyrus, Cleopatra Eurydice and Philip produced two children, Europa, a girl, and Caranus, a boy.〔William Woodthorpe Tarn ignores Europa entirely and disputes even the existence of Caranus.〕
Following Philip's assassination, Europa and Caranus were murdered by Olympias, whereupon Cleopatra took her own life. 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.
