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 official Bubares. Herodotus also mentions a son of Bubares and Gygaea, called Amyntas, who was later given the city Alabanda in Caria by Xerxes I (r. 486-465).

There is also another Gygaea, second wife of Amyntas III of Macedon, whose son Menelaus was put to death by his stepbrother Philip II in 347 BC.
