Editing Demetrius II Aetolicus (section)

==Marriage and family==
Demetrius married four times, though the chronology of these marriages is a matter of dispute.<ref name="EB1911"/>

* [[Stratonice of Macedon]], his aunt/cousin, the daughter of the Seleucid king [[Antiochus I Soter|Antiochus I]] and his aunt [[Stratonice of Syria|Stratonice]], by whom he had a daughter called [[Apama III]]<ref name="livius_org" /> who married [[Prusias I of Bithynia]]. Stratonice left him after he married his second wife.<ref name="women_macedonia" />

* [[Phthia of Macedon|Phthia]] (239 BC),<ref name="history_macedonia" />{{rp|322}} daughter of [[Alexander II of Epirus]], and possibly the mother of [[Philip V of Macedon]] (Chryseis has also been suggested as his mother).<ref name="women_macedonia" />{{rp|pp=190–193}}<ref>{{cite book |last=Nicholson |first=Emma |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=uvCnEAAAQBAJ&pg=PA2 |title=Philip V of Macedon in Polybius' Histories: Politics, History, and Fiction |publisher=[[Oxford University Press]] |year=2023 |isbn=978-0-19-286676-9 |page=2 |language=en}}</ref>
* [[:el:Χρυσηίς της Μακεδονίας|Chryseis]], probably a former war prisoner turned concubine, whom he married around 237 BC. After Demetrius' death, she married his successor, Antigonus.<ref name="women_macedonia" />

Information regarding the life of Demetrius is drawn mainly from inscriptions, as only [[Plutarch]] writes of him, in [[Parallel Lives|Life of Aratus]], and [[Polybius]]<ref>cf.2.44.1-2</ref> makes scarce mention of him.<ref name="history_macedonia" />
