A Dinastia Argéada (em Grego: Ἀργεάδαι, Argeádai) era uma antiga casa real Grega Macedónia. Eles foram os fundadores e a dinastia governante da Macedônia de cerca de 700 a 310 AC. A sua tradição, como descrita na historiografia grega antiga, traçou suas origens para Argos, no Peloponeso, daí o nome Argeads ou Argives.^[1]^[2]^[3] Inicialmente os governantes da tribo homônima,^[4] na época de Filipe II, expandiram seu reinado ainda mais, para incluir sob o domínio da Macedônia todos os estados da Alta Macedônia. Os membros mais célebres da família foram Filipe II da Macedónia e Alexandre, o Grande, sob cuja liderança o reino da Macedônia gradualmente ganhou predominância em toda a Grécia, derrotou o Império Aquemênida e expandiu-se até ao Egito e á Índia. O mítico fundador da dinastia Argéada é o Rei Caranus.^[5]^[6]

Origem

A rota dos Argéadas de Argos, Peloponeso, para a Macedônia de acordo com Heródoto.

As palavras "Argead" e "Argive" derivam (do Latim Argīvus^[7]) do Grego Ἀργεῖος (Argeios), "de ou de Argos",^[8] que é primeiro atestado em Homero, onde também foi usado como um designação coletiva para os gregos ("Ἀργείων Δαναῶν", Argive Danaans).^[9]^[10] A dinastia Argéada alegou descender dos Temenids de Argos, no Peloponeso, cujo lendário ancestral era Temenus, o trineto de Héracles. Nas escavações do palácio real em Aegae Manolis Andronikos descobriu na sala "tholos" (de acordo com alguns estudiosos "tholos" era a sala do trono) uma inscrição relativa a essa crença.^[11] Isto é testemunhado por Heródoto, em as Histórias, onde ele menciona que três irmãos da linhagem de Temenus, Gauanes, Aéropo e Pérdicas, fugiram de Argos para os Ilírios e então para a Alta Macedônia, para uma cidade chamada Lebaea, onde serviram o rei. Este último pediu-lhes para deixar o seu território, acreditando em um presságio de que algo grande aconteceria com Pérdicas. Os meninos foram para outra parte da Macedônia, perto do jardim de Midas, acima do qual fica o monte Bermio. Lá eles fizeram a sua casa e lentamente formaram o seu próprio reino.^[12] Heródoto também relata o incidente da participação de Alexandre I da Macedônia nos Jogos Olímpicos em 504 ou 500 AC, onde a participação do rei da Macedônia foi contestada pelos participantes, alegando que ele não era grego. O Hellanodikai, no entanto, depois de examinar a sua alegação Argéada, confirmou que os Macedônios eram Gregos e permitiu que ele participasse.^[13]

Outra teoria, apoiada por estudiosos modernos, como Apiano na antiguidade, é que a dinastia Argéada realmente descendia de Argos Orestikon, Macedônia, e que a teoria da vinda de Argos no Peloponeso, foi inventada pelos Reis da Macedônia fortalecer a sua linhagem grega.^[14]

De acordo com Tucídides, na História da Guerra do Peloponeso, os Argéadas eram originalmente Temenídeos de Argos, que desceram das terras altas para a Baixa Macedônia, expulsaram os Pierianos de Pieria e adquiriram em Peônia uma estreita faixa ao longo do rio Áxio, que se estendia até Pela e AO mar. Eles também acrescentaram Migdônia ao seu território através da expulsão dos Edonos, dos Eordeus e dos Almópios.^[15]

For his victory Caranus set up a trophy after the Argive fashion, but it is said to have been upset by a lion from Olympus, which then vanished. Caranus, they assert, realized that it was a mistaken policy to incur the undying hatred of the non-Greeks dwelling around, and so, they say, the rule was adopted that no king of Macedonia, neither Caranus himself nor any of his successors, should set up trophies, if they were ever to gain the good-will of their neighbors. This story is confirmed by the fact that Alexander set up no trophies, neither for his victory over Dareius nor for those he won in India."
