5. For a narration of the events surrounding Philip’s last marriage, see
Ellis 1976: 211–17; Whitehorne 1994: 34–42; Ogden 1999: 20–27; Carney
2000a: 72–81; Carney 2007a: 44–45; Worthington 2008: 172–78.
6. Cf. Badian 1963 on the intrigues that led to Philip’s assassination.
7. Diod. (17.2.3) says that Europa was born only days before Philip’s
assassination. On Europa, see Carney 2000a: 77–78.
8. Paus. 5.20.10: πεποίηται δὲ ὀπτῆς πλίνθου, κίονες δὲ περὶ αὐτὸ
ἐστήκασι. Φιλίππωι δὲ ἐποιήθη μετὰ τὸ ἐν Χαιρωνείαι τὴν Ἑλλάδα
ὀλισθεῖν. Κεῖνται δὲ αὐτόθι Φίλιππός τε καὶ Ἀλέξανδρος, σὺν δὲ αὐτοῖς
Ἀμύντας ὁ Φιλίππου πατήρ· ἔργα δὲ ἐστι καὶ ταῦτα Λεωχάρους ἐλέφαντος
καὶ χρυσοῦ, καθὰ καὶ τῆς Ὀλυμπιάδος καὶ Εὐρυδίκης εἰσὶν αἱ εἰκόνες.
Paus. 5.17.4: M ετεκομίσθη δὲ αὐτόσε καὶ ἐκ τοῦ καλουμένου Φιλιππείου,
χρυσοῦ καὶ ταῦτα καὶ ἐλέφαντος, Εὐρυδίκη τε ἡ Φιλίππου . . .
9. Lapatin 2001: 117 with n. 198.
10. If Philip II’s last wife had also been renamed Eurydice, as will be
argued below, then Arrhidaeus and Adea may have assumed the names
Philip and Eurydice echoing that particular pair, not Philip and his
mother as is usually assumed.
11. On Olympias’ names and their possible signifi cance, see Carney
2006: 15–16, 93–95.
12. Badian 1982a.
13. Heckel (2006: 4) suggests that she was born by 335 at the latest
since her father died around that time.
14. On these reigns, see Hammond (and Griffi th) 1979: 172–88.
15. On the probability that Philip did not act as regent for his nephew
but was appointed king directly upon his brother’s death, see Ellis 1971;
(Hammond and) Griffi th 1979: 208–09; Worthington 2008: 20–21. See
also Heckel 2006: 23.
16. Split patronage by Philip and subsequently by Alexander is supported
by (Hammond and) Griffi th 1979: 693; Hintzen-Bohlen 1992:
26–29; Damaskos 1999: 266 n. 52; Lapatin 2001: 16–17; Carney 2007a: 44.
Further references are given in Schultz 2007: 208 n. 6.
17. Huwendiek 1996.
18. Hitzl 1995. Carney (2007a: 34 n. 26) also believes that the two
female portraits were removed in Roman times.
19. Schultz 2007: 208–10.
20. Cf. Schultz 2007: 209 with n. 20.
21. Schultz 2007: 220–21.
22. Despinis 2004: 12–14, pl. 1.
23. Hammond (and Griffi th) 1979: 184; Carney 2000a: 43–44. The attribution
of the so-called Tomb of Eurydice at Vergina to Philip’s mother is
at best problematic (cf. Palagia 2002). Panagiotis Phaklaris informs me
that the tomb contained a helmet; it was therefore a man’s burial.
