Phila

Phila (; after 300 BC – after 246 BC) was a queen (basilissa) of ancient Macedonia. She was a daughter of Seleucus I Nicator, the founder of the Seleucid Empire, and Stratonice. In 277 or 276 BC, she became the wife of her uncle Antigonus II Gonatas, king of Macedonia, and was mother of Demetrius II Aetolicus (born 275 BC). She was given to Antigonus by her brother, later Antiochus I king of the Seleucid Empire. She had been placed in his care in 294 or 293 BC. This was done by way of Antiochus formally giving up his claim to Macedonia and recognising Antigonus as king there following an alliance opposing him between Antigonus and Nicomedes I of Bithynia.
