Kratesipolis, Queen of Corinth (339 BC - present) Daughter of the Macedonian general, Meleagar, Chryseis (Kratesipolis's given name) was born in Alexandria, Egypt. Her father, Meleager, (one of Alexander's generals) doted on his daughter - rare for a Macedonian, who prized their male issue above all else. A bright and vivacious, child, Chryseis was loved by all of the Macedonian nobility, including Cassander, who in later life was to become her bitter enemy, but most of all Ptolemy (who would become King of Egypt).
