Gygaea of Macedon


Gygaea was a daughter of Amyntas I and sister of Alexander I of Macedon. She was given away in marriage by her brother to the Persian General Bubares. Herodotus also mentions a son of Bubares and Gygaea, called Amyntas, who was later given the city Alabanda in Caria by Xerxes I.
There is also another Gygaea, second wife of Amyntas III of Macedon, whose son Menelaus was put to death by his half-brother Philip II in 347 BC.
