::''For a hero, see Neoptolemus. For a grandson of this king, see Neoptolemus II of Epirus.'' Neoptolemus I of Epirus ((ギリシア語:Νεοπτόλεμος Α' Ηπείρου)) (370–357 BC) was a Greek king of Epirus and son of Alcetas I, and father of Troas, Alexander I of Epirus and Queen Olympias. He was a maternal grandfather of Alexander the Great.〔''A Classical Dictionary, Containing a Copious Account of All the Proper Names'' by John Lemprière〕 He claimed he was a descendant of hero Achilles and King Lycomedes, while Emperor Caracalla claimed that he was a descendant of Neoptolemus I. Olympias was originally known as Polyxena. It is possible that Neoptolemus gave her that name. ==Etymology== His name means "new war".〔(Name of Neoptolemus )〕 This was also a name of the son of the warrior Achilles and the princess Deidamia in Greek mythology, and also the mythical progenitor of the ruling dynasty of the Molossians of ancient Epirus. 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「Neoptolemus I of Epirus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
