Details
Magas of Cyrene (flourished 3rd century BCE, ruled 276–250 BCE) was a Greek Macedonian King of Cyrene (in modern Libya). He managed to wrestle independence for Cyrene from the Greek Ptolemaic dynasty in Egypt. Magas was the son of the noblewoman Berenice I of Egypt and an obscure local nobleman called Philip. Magas dedicated an inscription to himself and his father, when he served as a Priest of Apollo. He had one sister Antigone who married as one of the wives of King Pyrrhus of Epirus and possibly another sister called Theoxena. After the death of his father, his mother married Ptolemy I Soter. Through his mother’s second marriage, he was the older half brother to Arsinoe II of Egypt, the second king of the Ptolemaic dynasty Ptolemy II Philadelphus and Philotera.
