Argeadi

Dinastija Argeada (grčki: οἱ Ἀργεάδαι) bila je starogrčka vladarska kuća Makedonije od 700. do 310. pne.. Vladali su, po Strabonovim navodima, drevnim makedonskim klanom također poznatim kao Argeadi. Prema predaji, koju prenose drevni antički historičari, porijeklo im je iz Argosa na jugu današnje Grčke (pa odatle potječe naziv Argeadi).^[1]^[2] Najpoznatiji članovi kuće su bili Filip II Makedonski i Aleksandar III Veliki, pod čijim je vodstvom makedonsko kraljevstvo steklo vlast nad Grčkom, porazilo Ahemenidsko Carstvo te se proširilo do Egipta i Indije. Nakon smrti Aleksandra IV 309. pne. vlast nad Makedonijom je preuzela dinastija Antipatrida.

"In the early 5th century the royal house of Macedon, the Temenidae was recognised as Greek by the Presidents of the Olympic Games. Their verdict was and is decisive. It is certain that the Kings considered themselves to be of Greek descent from Heracles son of Zeus."
↑ Howatson, M.C. The Oxford Companion to Classical Literature. Oxford University Press, 1989, p. 339. "In historical times the royal house traced its descent from the mythical Temenus, king of Argos, who was one of the Heracleidae, and more immediately from Perdiccas I, who left Argos for Illyria, probably in the mid-seventh century BC, and from there captured the Macedonian plain and occupied the fortress of Aegae (Vergina), setting himself up as king of the Macedonians. Thus the kings were of largely Dorian Greek stock (see PHILIP (1)); they presumably spoke a form of Dorian Greek and their cultural tradition had Greek features."
