incorrect assertion?!

[edit]

now the text has "Eurydice's lineage ended with Demetrius the Fair (285-240/49 BCE) son of Demetrius Poliorcetes and Ptolemais.". But this must be incorrect, because the murdered Demetrios the Handsome/Fair had two sons, King Antigonos Doson and Ekhekrates, and one grandson, Ekhekrates's son, another Antigonos (who is alive still in 179 BCE). 2001:14BA:4857:A000:A8AA:B86F:145A:9FEE (talk) 09:27, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

She could have died

[edit]

What contradicts the possibility of her death? Her date of death is unknown. 2A00:23EE:13D8:B52C:28D6:CE6D:F7DE:A543 (talk) 15:39, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Pausanias states that Ptolemy fathered children by Eurydice and Berenice concurrently (as stated in the article). Plutarch, Demetrius 46.3, also reports that she was present for the wedding of her daughter Ptolemais to Demetrius Poliorcetes in Miletus in c. 287 BC (Berenice's first child was Arsinoe II born in 316 BC).
