Olympias
Olympias was a special woman from a long time ago. She was born around 375 BC in a place called Passaron, which is now part of Greece. Her family was very important. They were leaders of a group called the Molossians.
Olympias became famous because she was the mother of Alexander the Great. Alexander was a famous leader who traveled to many places. Olympias helped him when he was young and stayed important even when he ruled far away.
People remember Olympias for helping her son and her family. She was strong and cared deeply about her loved ones. Her story is told in books, movies, and TV shows, so many people still know about her today.
In one old picture, she is showing the young Alexander to a wise teacher named Aristotle. This shows how important she was to Alexander’s early life.
