Magas (el|Mάγας) was a Greek Macedonian nobleman who lived in the 4th century BC. His origin is obscure except that he came from the region of Eordaea.[1] Little is known about his life.
Magas married the noblewoman Antigone, the child of Cassander and the niece of the powerful regent Antipater.[2] His marriage to Antigone reveals that Magas was a nobleman of some social status and influence as he married a close relation to the powerful regent and his wife was a distant collateral relative to the Argead dynasty.[3] After Magas married Antigone, they settled in Eordaea. Antigone bore Magas a daughter, his only known child, Berenice I of Egypt.[2] [3] Magas had two namesakes: his grandson Magas of Cyrene and his great-great-grandson Magas of Egypt.
