Olympias (in Greek Ὀλυμπιάς, pronounced [olympiás]; lived 3rd century BC) was a Greek queen consort and regent of Epirus. She was the daughter of Pyrrhus, king of the Greek kingdom of Epirus and his first wife Antigone. She was the wife of her own paternal half-brother Alexander II. After Alexander's death around 242 BC, she assumed the regency of the kingdom on behalf of her two sons, Pyrrhus II and Ptolemy; and in order to strengthen herself against the Aetolian League she gave before 239 BC her daughter Phthia in marriage to Demetrius II, king of Macedonia.
