Cassander (Greek: ??ssa?d???) was a Greek Macedonian nobleman that lived in the 4th century BC.
Cassander was the son of Iolaus by an unnamed mother and brother of the powerful Regent and general Antipater.[1] Cassanders family were distant collateral relatives to the Argead dynasty.[2] Cassander like Antipater was originally from the Macedonian city of Paliura[3] and was a contemporary to Aristotle.[4]
Little is known on his life. He married an unnamed Greek Macedonian noblewoman by whom he had a child: a daughter called Antigone[5] who married a Greek Macedonian nobleman called Magas[6] by whom she had a daughter called Berenice I of Egypt.[7] His namesake was his nephew Cassander.
