Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RON-SAC
ROXANA, or ROXANE , daughter of the Bactrian king Oxyartes, and wife of Alexander the
Great
 . After the latter's death she gave
birth
  at Babylon to a son (Alexander IV.), who was accepted by the generals as
joint
 -king with Arrhidaeus. Having crossed over to Macedonia, and thrown in her lot with
Olympias
 ,
mother
  of Alexander the
Great
 , she was imprisoned by Cassander in the fortress of Amphipolis and put to death (310 or 309 B.c.). The
marriage
  of Alexander and
Roxana
  was the subject of a famous
painting
  by Aetion.
