Athenaeus gives us a list of Philip’s seven wives. It is not necessarily chronological.
From Athenaeus: The Deipnosophists BOOK 13
The following is mostly taken from Heckel’s ‘Who’s Who’.For, in the twenty-two years which he reigned, as Satyrus relates in his History of his Life, having married Audata the Illyrian, he had by her a daughter named Cynna; and he also married Phila, a sister of Derdas and Machatas. And wishing to conciliate the nation of the Thessalians, he had children by two Thessalian women; one of whom was Nicesipolis of Pherae, who brought him a daughter named Thessalonice; and the other was Philinna of Larissa, by whom he had Arrhidaeus. He also acquired the kingdom of the Molossians, when he married Olympias, by whom he had Alexander and Cleopatra. And when he subdued Thrace, there came to him Cothelas, the king of the Thracians, bringing with him Meda his daughter, and many presents: and having married her, he added her to Olympias. And after all these, being violently in love, he married Cleopatra, the sister of Hippostratus and niece of Attalus. And bringing her also home to Olympias, he made all his life unquiet and troubled. For, as soon as this marriage took place, Attalus said, 'Now, indeed, legitimate kings shall be born, and not bastards.' And Alexander having heard this, smote Attalus with a goblet which he had in his hand; and Attalus in return struck him with his cup. And after that Olympias fled to the Molossians; and Alexander fled to the Illyrians. And Cleopatra bore to Philippus a daughter who was named Europa."
Audata
Daughter of an Illyrian chieftain, presumably Bardylis, whom Philip II defeated in 359/8. First or possibly second wife of Philip II, sealing the “glorious peace” that he had forged with the Illyrians. Her name was changed to Eurydice and for a brief period, she was Philip’s “official” queen. Philip’s mother, Eurydice (still alive at this point), was partially Illyrian and Carney suggests that Audata may have been related to her.
The assignment of the name Eurydice to Cleopatra, the niece of Attalus, in 337/6 may suggest that Audata was no longer alive by then.
Phila
Sister of Derdas (who may have been king) and Machatas, a member of the Elimeiot royal house and thus probably a relative of Alexander’s treasurer, Harpalus. Likely born soon after 375. She appears to have been Philip’s first or second wife. We hear of no child of hers and she may be the wife and child of Philip’s recorded in the Romances who dies before Philip married Olympias. The view that she was the mother of Caranus is unsupported.
Philinna
From Larissa and mother of Arrhidaeus. Philip appears to have married her in 358 and her son was born before Alexander but soon showed signs of mental impairment. Since the marriage was meant to strengthen the bond between Philip and his Larissan allies, it is
likely that Philine belonged to the aristocracy, probably to the Aleuadae.
Olympias
Epirot princess. Daughter of Neoptolemus and sister of Troas and Alexander I of Epirus, niece and sister-in-law of Arybbas who married Troas. Descended from Pyrrhus son of Achilles and, on her mother’s side, from the Trojan prince Helenus, hence one of the Aeacidae. Leonidas, Alexander the Great’s tutor, was also a kinsman
As a child she was called Polyxena and then, at marriage, Myrtale; later in life she was also known as Olympias and Stratonice. In 357 BC she married Philip II, whom she had met as a child on Samothrace, to whom she bore first Alexander in 356 BC and later Cleopatra . Since the news of Alexander’s birth coincided with that of Philip’s Olympic victory, it may be for this reason that Myrtale’s name was changed to Olympias.
Stories that she slept with Zeus (= Amun) disguised as a snake, were presumably fabricated after Alexander’s visit to Siwah. She was a devotee of exotic cults and maenadism. She is described as high-minded, jealous and brooding. As a mother she was domineering and interfering, yet she retained her son’s love and corresponded with him during his absence, complaining about Antipater. Her son’s apparent lack of interest in women caused her (in consultation with Philip) to encourage him to have sexual relationships with the courtesan Callixeina.
Her rivalry with Cleopatra was to do with the Alexander’s inheritance, but the story that she was “divorced” on the grounds of adultery (stuprum) is a fabrication, as is the claim that she drugged the young Arrhidaeus. The dishonoring of Olympias may refer to Cleopatra’s recognition as Philip’s “queen”. After the quarrel at Philip’s wedding Alexander took her to brother Alexander I of Epirus, whom she tried unsuccessfully to incite to war against Philip. Philip’s decision to marry his (and Olympias’) daughter, Cleopatra, to Alexander I was intended as a conciliation to Alexander I and Olympias.
Though not fully reconciled to Philip, Olympias returned to Pella. She encouraged Alexander to believe the Pixodarus affair was against his interests, and she was believed to have incited Pausanias in his assassination of Philip., though there is no proof, but it is quite plausible that she brought about the murder of Cleopatra and her young child, distressing Alexander.
Some time after 331 BC, she quarrelled with Antipater and withdrew to Epirus, sending Cleopatra back to Macedonia at some point after 330. After Alexander’s death, she persuaded Cleopatra to offer herself in marriage to Leonnatus, who was soon killed, and she sent Cleopatra to offer herself to Perdiccas, but nothing came of it. Soon after Polyperchon appealed to her to return to Macedonia to assume the guardianship of Alexander IV. She wrote to Eumenes who advised her to remain in Epirus, but with the help of her nephew Aeacides, she met her opponent Adea-Eurydice at Euia. Her presence caused the Macedonians to desert to her, but she executed Philip III Arrhidaeus and Adea-Eurydice, and took vengeance on her political enemies.
But the tide soon turned against Polyperchon and his supporters, and Olympias and her entourage, which included Thessalonice, Rhoxane, Alexander IV, and his betrothed, Deidameia were besieged at Pydna, waiting in vain for help from Aeacides and Polyperchon. An escape attempt apparently miscarried and, on the point of starvation, Olympias surrendered to Cassander on the promise of her own personal safety. This was, however, disregarded and Cassander, after first gaining approval for the act from the assembled Macedonians, had her put to death by relatives of her victims in 316 BC.
Nicesipolis
The niece of the Thessalian Jason of Pherae. Married Philip II in 352 or 346, as the name of her daughter Thessalonice suggests. Since Thessalonice did not marry until 315, the latter date is far more likely. Her beauty won the admiration of even her rival Olympias. She died on the twentieth day after giving birth to her daughter, who was brought up by Olympias.
Meda
Thracian princess. Daughter of Cothelas. Philip II married her at some point after his marriage to Olympias, but the union probably dates to 342. She appears to have borne no children and her fate is unknown, although she has been proposed as the occupant of the antechamber in Vergina Tomb II.
Daughter of Atheas
In 339 BC Philip defeated the Scythians under Atheas. He may have married Atheas's daughter.
Cleopatra
Macedonian. Arrian calls her “Eurydice,” which, if not an error, must be the name assumed at marriage which, if it signalled she was Philip’s principal wife or queen, was likely to have antagonised Olympias. Sister of Hippostratus and niece of Attalus, and Philip’s seventh and last wife. Her wedding feast caused a rupture between Philip and Alexander over the imputation that Alexander was illegitimate. She bore a daughter named Europa a few days before Philip’s murder, but both were murdered by Olympias not long afterwards.
