Cynane in Greek language Greek K , Kynane or , Kyna killed 323 BC was half sister to Alexander the Great , and daughter of Philip II of Macedon Philip II by Audata , an Illyrians Illyrian princess. Audata trained her daughter in riding, hunting, and fighting in the Illyrian tradition. Her father gave her in marriage to her cousin Amyntas IV of Macedon Amyntas , by whose death she was left a widow in 336 BC. In the following year Alexander promised her hand, as a reward for his services, to Langarus , king of the Agrianians , but the intended bridegroom became ill and died. Cynane continued unmarried, and employed herself in the education of her daughter, Adea or Eurydice III of Macedon Eurydice , whom she is said to have trained, after the manner of her own education, in martial exercises. When her half brother Philip III of Macedon Philip Arrhidaeus was chosen king in 323 BC, Cynane determined to marry Eurydice to him, and crossed over to Asia accordingly. Her influence was probably great, and her project alarmed Perdiccas and Antipater , the former of whom sent his brother Alcetas to meet her on her way and put her to death. Alcetas did so in defiance of the feelings of his troops, and Cynane met her doom with an undaunted spirit. Eurydice s wedding took place, but both daughter and son in law were eventually killed by Olympias .

Pixodarus in Greek language Greek o ruled 340 335 BC was a prince or king of Caria . Biography He was the youngest of the three sons of Hecatomnus , all of whom successively held the sovereignty of their native country. Pixodarus obtained possession of the throne by the expulsion of his sister Ada of Caria Ada , the widow and successor of her brother Idrieus , and held it without opposition for a period of five years, 340 335 BC. He cultivated the friendship of Achaemenid Empire Persia , gave his daughter in marriage to a Persian people Persian named Orontobates , whom he even seems to have admitted to some share in the sovereign power during his own lifetime. But he did not neglect to court the alliance of other powers also, and endeavoured to secure the powerful friendship of Philip II of Macedon Philip II , king of Macedon ia, by offering the hand of his eldest daughter in marriage to Philip III of Macedon Arrhidaeus , the illegitimate son of the Macedonian monarch. The discontent of the young Alexander the Great Alexander at this period led him to offer himself as a suitor for the Carian princess instead of his natural brother an overture which was eagerly embraced by Pixodarus, but the indignant interference of Philip put an end to the whole scheme. Pixodarus died apparently a natural death some time before the landing of Alexander in Asia, 334 BC and was succeeded by his son in law Orontobates. r diod 16.74 arr 1.23 strab 14 plut 10 References William Smith lexicographer Smith, William editor Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology , http www.ancientlibrary.com smith bio 2713.html Pixodarus 2 , Boston , 1867 Notes reflist refs ref name diod 16.74 arr 1.23 strab 14 plut 10 Diodorus Siculus , Bibliotheca , http www.perseus.tufts.edu cgi bin ptext?lookup Diod. 16.74.1 xvi. 74 Arrian , Anabasis Alexandri , http websfor.org alexander arrian book1b.asp i. 23 Strabo , Geography , http www.perseus.tufts.edu cgi bin ptext?doc Perseus 3Atext 3A1999 ... more details

Sources hint that this was an unequal marriage, because the king was mentally disabled.
