Olympias

The wife of Philip II of Makedon (Macedon) and the mother of Alexander the Great.

When Philip married his second wife, Kleopatra (Cleopatra), Alexander’s direct ascension to the throne was jeopardized; it is assumed that Alexander and Olympias were responsible for the deaths of Kleopatra, her son and her father.
