Yes, KARANOS not KERAUNOS; the evidence is distinctly flimsy but if he was a rival as Justin states then he was not the child of Eurydice/Kleopatra but from another of Philip's wives; we had a thread about it ages back 'Alexander's brothers?'. I was being sarcastic!
Lysimachos is my favourite diadoch so I'll leap to his defence later, Paralus, you inveterate Eumenid (please note in-VET-erate not in-VERT-ibrate, would not want to be accused of unforumlike language due to any mis-reading
)
Spelling Greek names is always a bit of a lottery depending on how far you latinise them and how you transliterate the characters; is chi 'ch' or is khi 'kh'? Then there are considerations of pronunciation over translitteration; gamma gamma is 'gg' but is pronounced 'ng' , beta is pronounced as a 'v'( one frequently sees this in literature about the Byzantines, oops Vyzantines!).
As T.E.Lawrence might have said 'Of course it hurts, the trick is not to care!'
Now for some further warbling:-
It always helps to read the full articles so having done so here is my guess.
The bodies were found in the rubble of the Temple of Eukleia, which was founded by Philip II’s mother, Eurydice. We have no date for her death but she surely predeceased her son, as she does not figure in the stories of his murder and funeral. She was Queen much earlier in the century but the burials contain late fourth century goods and so post date the building of the temple. An interment in a temple is far from being a mark of ill favour and it is not likely to be something that would escape notice.
To be buried in a Temple, however, the deceased ought to have a relevance to either the building, e.g. its founder, or the patron deity. Eukleia was the patron goddess of bridal glory and rectitude. This was close to Eurydice’s heart as she was accused of several affairs, most notably with Ptolemy Aloros.
Clearly she is not two corpses of a later date, however. It might well suit Philip III and his Eurydice, the synonymy may even have seemed fortuitous. Kassander would have good reason to promote Eurydice’s status as a good wife, there were rumours that he had known her favours. The tribute would have a point, we also know that Kassander reburied them, it need not have been in the tholos complex.
Roxane, as the dutiful wife of Alexander would be another possible, but the second corpse is a problem, it would be appropriate for a spouse to join a wife but not the son I think. Other candidates are made dubious by the fact that they are re-burials.
Until the sex and ages of the bodies is determined we are restricted to those who are appropriate to the Temple and likely to have been reburied. Nikaia the wife of Demetrios (by Demetrios himself or Gonatos) is another possible, or Thessalonike the murdered wife of Kassander (by Lysimachos?).
The copper vessels holding the second body seem reminiscent of Celtic practice so perhaps they date to the years of interregnum. Anymore before a mundane truth is Schliemanised?
When you think about, it free-choice is the only possible option.
