Nicaea ((ギリシア語: Nίκαια), c. 335 BC〔(Nicaea’s article at Livius.org )〕 – about 302 BC) was a Greek Macedonian noblewoman and was a daughter of the powerful regent Antipater〔Heckel, ''Who’s who in the age of Alexander the Great: prosopography of Alexander’s empire'', p.175〕 by unnamed mother. She was born and raised in Macedonia when her father was governor of Macedonia during the reign of Greek King Alexander the Great.〔(Nicaea’s article at Livius.org )〕 Nicaea was sent by her father to Asia accompanied by her brother Iollas and a certain Archias〔Heckel, ''Who’s who in the age of Alexander the Great: prosopography of Alexander’s empire'', p.175〕 to be in 323 BC married to the powerful Perdiccas, at a time when it was still hoped to maintain friendly relations with the regent. Perdiccas, though already entertaining hostile designs married Nicaea. Not so long afterwards by the advice of Eumenes determined to divorce Nicaea, married Cleopatra of Macedon instead, the full-blooded sister of Alexander the Great. This step that Perdiccas took before setting out on his expedition to Ancient Egypt, led to an immediate rupture between Perdiccas and Antipater.〔Photius, ''Bibliotheca'', (cod. 92 ); Diodorus Siculus, ''Bibliotheca'', xviii. 23〕 In c. 321 BC,〔(Nicaea’s article at Livius.org )〕 in part of a formed alliance Antipater married Nicaea to Lysimachus who governed Thrace.〔Lightman, ''A to Z of ancient Greek and Roman women'', p.233〕 In 306 BC Lysimachus became King of ruling Thrace, Asia Minor and Macedon. Through her marriage, Nicaea became a Queen consort. Nicaea bore Lysimachus three children: one son Agathocles;〔Bengtson, ''Griechische Geschichte von den Anfängen bis in die römische Kaiserzeit'', p.569〕〔Heckel, ''Who’s who in the age of Alexander the Great: prosopography of Alexander’s empire'', p.175〕 two daughters: Eurydice〔Bengtson, ''Griechische Geschichte von den Anfängen bis in die römische Kaiserzeit'', p.569〕〔Heckel, ''Who’s who in the age of Alexander the Great: prosopography of Alexander’s empire'', p.175〕 and Arsinoe I.〔Bengtson, ''Griechische Geschichte von den Anfängen bis in die römische Kaiserzeit'', p.569〕〔Heckel, ''Who’s who in the age of Alexander the Great: prosopography of Alexander’s empire'', p.175〕 Through Arsinoe I, Nicaea would have further descendants. Nicaea died at an unknown date from unknown causes sometime between 302 BC and 300 BC.〔(Nicaea’s article at Livius.org )〕 In c. 300 BC, Lysimachus renamed a city in Bithynia, Asia Minor, called Nicaea (modern İznik, Turkey) in honor of his late wife.〔(Nicaea’s article at Livius.org )〕〔Lightman, ''A to Z of ancient Greek and Roman women'', p.233〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nicaea of Macedon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
