Phila (daughter Of Antipater)
Phila (Greek: Φίλα; died 287 BC), daughter of Antipater, the regent of Macedonia, is celebrated by the ancient sources as one of the noblest and most virtuous women of the age in which she lived. Her abilities and judgment were so conspicuous even at an early age, that her father, Antipater, often consulted her in regard to political affairs. Biography According to Antonius Diogenes, she was married to Balacrus (probably the satrap of Cappadocia of that name) as early as 332 BC. In 322 BC, her father gave her in marriage to Craterus as a reward for his assistance to Antipater in the Lamian War. After the death of Craterus a year later, she was again married to the young Demetrius Poliorcetes, the son of Antigonus. Her marriage to Demetrius may have been as early as 319 BC; according to Diodorus it had already happened in 315, when the remains of her previous husband were consigned to her care by Ariston, the friend of Eumenes. Despite the large difference in age, Phila app ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

In 307 BC, Demetrius successfully ousted Cassander's governor of Athens and after defeating Ptolemy I at the Battle of Salamis (306 BC) he gave his father the title of ''basileus'' ("king") over a land spanning from the Aegean Sea to the Middle East. He acquired the title ''Poliorcetes'' ("the besieger") after the unsuccessful siege of Rhodes in 305. While Antigonus I and Demetrius planned a revival of the Hellenic League with themselves as dual hegemons, a coalition of the diadochi; Cassander, Seleucus I, Ptolemy I, and Lysimachus defeated the two at the Battle of Ipsus in 301 BC, in which Antigon ...

Phila (daughter Of Seleucus)
Phila (; after 300 BC – after 246 BC) was a queen ('' basilissa'') of ancient Macedonia. She was a daughter of Seleucus I Nicator, the founder of the Seleucid Empire, and Stratonice. In 277 or 276 BC, she became the wife of her uncle Antigonus II Gonatas, king of Macedonia, and was mother of Demetrius II Aetolicus (born 275 BC). She was given to Antigonus by her brother, later Antiochus I king of the Seleucid Empire. She had been placed in his care in 294 or 293 BC. This was done by way of Antiochus formally giving up his claim to Macedonia and recognising Antigonus as king there following an alliance opposing him between Antigonus and Nicomedes I of Bithynia.George Rawlinson, ''A Manual of Ancient History from the Earliest Times to the Fall of the Western Empire'', p. 261, Clarendon, 1869 . Phila's wedding was used by Antigonus to emphasise that his rule was a return to the old Argead dynasty and cement his legitimacy. Phila had no formal role in the governance of the co ...

Phila Of Thebes
Phila of Thebes (Greek language, Greek: Φίλα) (fl. 300s BCE) was a hetaira in Athens. Originally, she was enslaved to a woman called Nikarete who purchased and trained several women to become courtesans. Phila was eventually ransomed for a large sum (possibly 2,000 drachmas) by the famous orator Hyperides, who installed her at his house in Eleusis. Plutarch distinguishes Phila of Thebes, the lover of Hypereides, from Phila of Corinth, Nikarete's courtesan; they were in fact probably the same person.
