Cratesipolis

Kratesipolis (Greek: Κρατησιπολις; † after 307 BC) was a Macedonian nobleman in the time of Diadochenkriege of the 4th century BC. She was married to Alexandros, son of the regent of Alexander's empire, Polyperchon.

In the year 314 BC, during the second Diadochenkrieges, Alexandros betrayed his father and went over to his enemy Cassander. But shortly afterwards Alexandros was killed by own supporters from Sikyon, who hoped it, so to achieve the independence of their polis. Kratesipolis but conquered with the support of well- served by her, and therefore to their loyal troops and the city retaliated by letting crucify thirty ringleaders of the revolt.

Then there was Kratesipolis, probably in consensus with Polyperchon, as an independent mistress of Sicyon and Corinth, to them, the two cities - against the will of the crew of Akrokorinth - as well as their troops 308 BC I. to the ruler of Egypt, Ptolemy, handed. After an anecdote of the biographer Plutarch himself Kratesipolis then moved back to Patrae. There they wanted to visit Demetrios Poliorketes to an intimate gathering, after he had landed in the spring of 307 BC in Greece. The meeting failed, however, after Demetrius was surprised at the place of meeting of his enemies and forced to a hasty escape. About Kratesipolis then nothing more is reported.
