Cleopatra was a maiden who Philip married either in 338 or 337 BCE. As Philip's wife, Cleopatra was given the name "Eurydice". Although Philip was a polygamist, his marriage to Cleopatra greatly upset Olympias, and threw Alexander's heirship into question.
According to both Justin and Satyrus, Cleopatra Eurydice and Philip produced two children, Europa, a girl, and Caranus, a boy.
Following Philip's assassination, Europa and Caranus were murdered by Olympias, whereupon Cleopatra took her own life. Peter Green strongly suggests that Alexander ordered the death of Caranus, but that Europa and Cleopatra's fatalities were the result of Olympias's vindictiveness.
