"Probably the first woman to make her mark in history by living for 50 years in a power struggle between small kingdoms in Greece for power or sharing power."

She was born in 375 BC, the daughter of Neoptolemus, king of Epirus, an important Greek tribe. Brother Alexander-1 was from a great family Epide is known as a family heir. Her first name was Polyxena, and before she married Myrtle, the reason was that she practiced her own beliefs about an unknown deity. Her father Neoptolemus died 360 BC and his younger brother Arimbus succeeded him. He then made a treaty with King Philip II of Macedonia and married his niece, Myrtle. Then became queen of Macedonia. One year later Philip changed his wife's name to Olympias after the racehorse won the Olympics. That same summer she had her first child. He himself became famous in history as Alexander the Great. After that their daughter was born. Her name is Cleopatra. But their married life was full of hail. One of the reasons for this was that Olympias was greedy, and in 337 BCE, Philip II married Cleopatra, Queen of Macedonia. It further fueled them. Together with his son Alexander, his brother joined Alexander I, the king of Epirus. But Philip-2 was his daughter Cleopatra realizes that Olympias is insecure as Alexander I-Kichi, King of Epirus, strengthens his allegiance. Philip 2, however, was killed by unknown assailants. It was thought that there was an Olympias conspiracy behind this.

She came to Macedonia with her son Alexander and killed Cleopatra, the fourth wife of Philip-2, and his son Philip, in order to leave Alexander without heirs. During the conquest of many kingdoms by Olympias Alexander the Great, she corresponded with him. Antipater, who ruled on his behalf during those invasions, was in a lot of trouble. In 230 BC, Empire returned and became an administrative assistant to his nephew, Acids, who ascended the throne after the death of his younger brother Alexander-1. In 323, Alexander the Great, son of Olympias, died in The Great Babia, and his wife gave birth to a baby boy.

He is Alexander-4. Olympius gave his daughter, Cleo, to Predicus and married her, as he wanted to marry Wakeni Predicus, the daughter of Antipater, who had been in power until then. Son of Predicus Alexander; Alexander's step-son Philip-3 was in the care of Predica; This marriage involves Olympius his descent and hereditary rule. Antipater angrily invaded Macedonia, overthrew Predicus and proclaimed himself the king's representative but died within a year. In 319 BC, Elipperchan became ruler after Antipater. But Antipiter's son Cassander expelled Philip-3 from Macedonia. Polypertive Roxana fled the affair with his son Alexander. At first, Olympias did not get involved in this infighting, but he felt that his grandson Alexander IV would not succeed to the throne because of Cassander's rule. With that, his nephew Acidus' army invaded Macedonia and overthrew Cassander in 317 BC. She arrested and hanged Philip-3. Cassander killed the followers badly. Eventually, Cassander captured Olympias in Pidana. Polyperitone, Acids tried to leave her as part of the treaty but he hanged her. Alexander the Great's grandson was secretly killed. Cassander also refused to perform the rites of her execution in 316 BC. Thus ended the death of the mother of Alexander the Great, another emperor who was born the daughter of a king and became the wife of another king. But the historical basis for the Olympics competition is the Philip-2 horse victory. Predicus wanted to marry Antipater's daughter and strengthen her. But Olympias gave his daughter Cleopatra to Antipater and married her.
