Icon of person Argaeus I of Macedon

Argaeus (Greek: Ἀργαῖος, romanized: Argaios) was king of the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedonia. He was a member of the Argead dynasty and son of Perdiccas I. By allowing thirty years for the span of an average generation from the beginning of Archelaus' reign in 413 BC, British historian Nicholas Hammond estimated that Argaeus ruled around 623 BC.According to Herodotus and Thucydides, Argaeus was the second king of Macedonia. However, a much later tradition records Caranus as the founder of Macedonia and therefore Argaeus as the fifth king. Read more on Wikipedia
