Antipater I of Macedon
King of Macedon from 297 BC until 294 BC, jointly with his brother Alexander V of Macedon
Antipater I of Macedon [1] ( Greek : Ἀντίπατρος), was the son of Cassander and Thessalonike of Macedon , who was a half-sister of Alexander the Great . He was king of Macedon from 297 BC until 294 BC, jointly with his brother Alexander V . Eventually, he murdered his mother and ousted his brother from the throne. Alexander turned to Pyrrhus and Demetrius I Poliorcetes for help, and Demetrius I overthrew Antipater and then had Alexander murdered. Antipater was killed by Lysimachus , after he fled from Demetrius I to Thrace. His wife was Eurydice , his paternal cousin who was a daughter of Lysimachus. He and his brother were the last kings of Macedon to be descended from Perdiccas I .
