Laodice of Macedonia

Laodice was the wife of Antiochus, a general of King Philip II of Macedonia, and bore him to the 358 BC Seleucus I, who should justify the Seleucid dynasty in Syria. To legitimize their government claim, the legend of the divine origin of Seleucus I. was used: Apollon have begotten him in a dream with Laodice. After this her son named some newly built in different parts of his empire cities Laodicea.
