The women who surrounded Alexander the Great and who played an important role in his life are rarely discussed. Olympias, his mother, his wives Roxana, Barsine, Statira, his wet nurse Lanice, the Persian queen Sisyngambris, among many others. Women who loved or were loved by the young king, with whom he had important emotional ties and, at other times, who served as a pretext or political strategy for the union between different peoples or ethnic groups.
