STATEIRA II

The marriages of Alexander III of Macedon with Stateira II and Hephaestion with Drypetis, at Susa

'Stateira II' was daughter of Stateira I and Darius III of Persia. Sister of Drypetis, and granddaughter of Sisygambis. Captured along with her family at the Battle of Issus. Married Alexander the Great. Originally bethrothed to Mazaeus, who died in 328 BC. Murdered in 323 BC by Roxana, Alexander's first wife (Pl. Alex. 77.4). Arrian calls Stateira "Barsine," but she is not to be confused with Barsine the wife of Memnon of Rhodes (Arr. 7.4.4-8).
