Ptolemy's Offspring
Around 299 BC, Ptolemy's daughter
Arsinoe II married
Lysimachus, the king of Thrace.
She was his third wife. Lysimachus died in February 281 BC in
battle.
In 277 BC, Arsinoe II moved on and
married her brother Ptolemy II Philadelphus,
the king of Egypt. Gotta love politics.
Ptolemy's elder son was
Ptolemy Ceraunus.
He was the one who killed
Seleucus in 281 BC.
Ptolemy became founder of the
Ptolemaic
Dynasty when he ruled as King of Egypt from 323 - 285
BC.
