You may find some additional information when searching for Arridaeus or Arrhidaeus. However, his mother's name wasn't Cleopatra. |

Arridaeus was the son of "a Thessalian woman named Philinna": http://www.livius.org/phi-php/philip/arridaeus.htm There are many webpages mentioning Philinna, such as e.g. http://www.1stmuse.com/alex3/argeaidos.html You may also find these webpages interesting: http://www.archaeonia.com/history/hellenistic/heritage.htm http://www.royalty.nu/Europe/Balkan/Alexander.html |

Our best source for details of the death of Philip Arridaeus (on Dec. 25, 317 BCE) is the Library of World History by Diodorus, written in the middle of 1st century BCE. You can read a translation of the relevant passage here: [The Diadochi: The death of Philip Arridaeus] http://www.livius.org/di-dn/diadochi/diadochi_t15.html Olympias, the mother of Alexander the Great, "ordered certain Thracians to stab Philip to death, who had been king for six years and four months" Diodorus of Sicily used many sources in preparing his immense forty volume history of the world from mythological beginnings to the early successes of Julius Caesar. Sixteen of these books survive in complete form, and fragments of others through quotation by later authors. See here for a description of his life work and what is known about the sources available to him: [Diodorus of Sicily] http://www.livius.org/di-dn/diodorus/siculus.html regards, mathtalk-ga |
