	Arsinoe II of Egypt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Arsinoe II (316-270 BC), queen of Thrace and later co-ruler of Egypt with her brother and husband Ptolemy II of Egypt.
		Arsinoe II was first married to King Lysimachus of Thrace, to whom she bore three sons.
		Arsinoe II shared all of her brother's titles and apparently was quite influential, having towns dedicated to her, her own cult (as was Egyptian custom), and appearing on coinage.

		Arsinoe was not long in perceiving that these gentlemen looked at her longer and more often than at the others; and then, after the masters of the festival had gone aside in groups to discuss the matter they looked at her constantly and were talking, she felt sure, about her.
		Arsinoe, whose sharp ears had not failed to catch the dealer's remonstrances, and the words in which brave Pollux had taken her part, had, at first, felt dying of shame and terror, but now she felt as though she could fly on the wings of her delight.
		Arsinoe's entreaties were unheeded, and when she began to cry with grief at the prospect of losing her old house-mate he forbid her crossly to shed a tear for such a cause, for it was very childish, and he would not be pleased to conduct her with red eyes to meet the prefect's wife.

		There was a second Arsinoe in the meris of Herakleides, Arsinoe kat'Ammoniada, and the capital of the Arsinoite nome, known during the Ptolemaic period as Krokodilon Polis, was also called Arsinoe in the Roman period.
		23 specifies that Arsinoe was situated in the southern shore-land of the Arsinoite nome, meaning that is was not too far south from Lake Moeris, the northern boundary of the meris.
		In three demotic papyri Arsinoe is called a Souchos-village, which is not surprising as Souchos was the patron deity of the Fayum.

	Pomeroy, Hellenistic Queens
		After Lysimachus was killed, Arsinoe II was able to take over troops that remained loyal to her as the widow of Lysimachus as well as to hire her own mercenaries and engage in military struggles in her attempt to ensure a throne for her sons and herself.
		Arsinoe was eight years older than Ptolemy, and, as adults, older siblings often maintain their authority over younger ones, even if the older one is female and the (p.18) younger one male.
		The argument about Arsinoe II is reducible to the common question of "the power behind the throne." What did Plutarch mean by describing Arsinoe's mother Berenice I as "having very great power"- The impulse for such power can come from either the married couple together or the wife alone.

	Arsinoe II
		The creation of the cult of Arsinoe was shortly followeed by a major reform of the Egyptian clergy, which resulted in Nesisti-Pedubast, the High Priest of Memphis (an office that may even have been resurrected for the purpose), becoming the head of a cult that was funded by significant tax revenues allocated by the state.
		Arsinoe had probably won an Olympic victory at the Olympics of 272, a victory that surely would have affirmed her newly-proclaimed divinity.
