EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts Olympias, the enigmatic queen of Macedon, daughter of Neoptolemus I of Epirus, and mother of Alexander the Great. Born around 375 BC, Olympias was a significant figure in the ancient world, known for her beauty, strength, and mysterious powers. She married King Philip II of Macedon around 357 BC, and their union produced four children, including Alexander the Great and two other sons, Carnanus and Arrhidaios. Philip II, a formidable ruler, was assassinated in 336 BC, and Olympias played a crucial role in securing the throne for her eldest son, Alexander. According to some accounts, she manipulated events behind the scenes, ensuring that Alexander was declared king, despite his half-brother Arrhidaios being the senior heir. Olympias was revered as a goddess, with some sources claiming that she was a priestess of the god Dionysus. Her connection to the divine was further emphasized by her association with the oracle at Dodona, where she sought guidance and advice. This print, from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the regal presence of Olympias, with her striking features and regal attire. Her enigmatic expression and the rich details of her headdress and robes transport us back to the ancient world, allowing us to imagine the intrigue and drama that surrounded her life and reign. Olympias' legacy endures, not only as the mother of one of history's greatest conquerors but also as a powerful and influential queen in her own right. Her story continues to fascinate historians and scholars, offering insights into the complexities of ancient Macedonian society and the role of women in power.
