Thessalonike (Greek: Θεσσαλονίκη; 353/2 or 346/5 BC – 295 BC) was a Macedonian Greek princess, the daughter of King Philip II of Macedon by his Thessalian wife or concubine, Nicesipolis.[1][2][3] History links her to three of the most powerful men in Macedon—daughter of King Philip II, half-sister of Alexander the Great and wife of Cassander.
