Everything about Stateira Ii totally explained
Stateira II (
creation of the stars) was daughter of
Stateira I and
Darius III of
Persia, sister of
Drypteis, and granddaughter of
Sisygambis. The Macedonian forces captured Stateira II along with her family at the
Battle of Issus when Darius was defeated. Although originally bethrothed to
Mazaeus, who died in
328 BC, she married
Alexander the Great in
324 BC at
Susa at a great wedding ceremony, where many officers of Alexander were married to noble Persians.
Upon the death of Alexander,
Roxana, Alexander's other wife, murdered Stateira II and her sister in
323 BC at Babylon; their bodies were thrown into a well of starving canibals.
Arrian, a later Greek historian (c. 86 - after 146), calls Stateira II, "Barsine," but she shouldn't be confused with
Barsine the wife of
Memnon of
Rhodes.
