Eurydice I (circa 410 to before 343 BCE) is the earliest queen in the history of ancient Macedonia, whose impact on the political affairs of her time is known to us. Born to the royal house of Lynkestis, she became the mother of Philip II of Macedon (383/382-336 BCE) and the grandmother of Alexander the Great (356-323 BCE) through her marriage to the Argead king, Amyntas III of Macedon (circa 420-370/369 BCE). All three sons of this royal couple eventually ascended the throne of Macedonia, with Eurydice I playing a key role in their rise to power.
