And you should take all of this with a grain of salt because many of these histories and these stories were written hundreds of years later, and so it's not clear how much was a true account versus how much was made up. But beyond Olympias not being Macedonian, she is from Melosia, she is also, according to Plutarch, part of the cult of Dionysus, and she worships snakes and potentially even sleeps with snakes, which is really off-putting to a lot of the Macedonians. And so when King Philip, around 337 or 338, finds a Macedonian to marry, and her name is Cleopatra, not the famous Cleopatra from history, we'll talk about her in a few hundred years, but you see here, Philip II, he takes his seventh wife, I don't list them all here, I only list Olympias here, who he marries in 357 BCE, and then they have Alexander, born Alexander III shortly thereafter the next year, they also have another daughter, Cleopatra once again, not the Cleopatra when people refer to it in history, but then around 337 or 338 BCE, he takes his seventh wife, and this seventh wife is also named Cleopatra, she is Macedonian, Philip renames her Eurydice after his mother, and so you can imagine, this is already a little bit threatening, because well what if this Cleopatra has a son, and she eventually does have a son, and now that son would be pure Macedonian, as opposed to Alexander, who is only half Macedonian. And this becomes quite pointed at the wedding of Philip and Cleopatra, the Macedonian Cleopatra, in 337 or 338 BCE, when we have this account, and once again, take all of this with a grain of salt, this is an account by Plutarch, that was written 400 years later, but Plutarch writes, at the wedding of Cleopatra, this is Cleopatra Eurydice, this is the Macedonian Cleopatra, the young one, whom Philip fell in love with and married, she being much too young for him, her uncle Attalus, and you see him on our little family tree here, this is Cleopatra's uncle Attalus, a Macedonian, her uncle Attalus, in his drink, desired the Macedonians would implore the gods to give them a lawful successor to the kingdom by his niece. Let me underline that. Give them a lawful successor to the kingdom. You might be saying, wait, I thought Alexander was a lawful successor.
