Stratonike of Macedonia
Orthographic variation: Stratonice
Research Notes:
In 316 BC she is mentioned as entering into negotiations with Docimus, when that general was shut up with the other adherents of Perdiccas, in a fortress of Phrygia: but having induced him to quit his stronghold, she caused him to be seized and detained as a prisoner. After the battle of Ipsus she fled from Cilicia (where she had awaited the issue of the campaign) with her son Demetrius to Salamis in Cyprus, 301 BC. Here she probably died, as nothing is mentioned of her when the island fell into the power of Ptolemy some years afterwards. 1
Marriage Information:
Stratonike married Antigonos I Monophthalmos ANTIGONID, King of Macedonia, son of Philippos, [Nobleman of Pella]. (Antigonos I Monophthalmos was born about 382 BCE and died in 301 BCE in Ipsos, Phrygia.)
