Olympias.
Answer II
Olympias of Epirus was the mother of Alexander the Great. She was the daughter of King Neoptolemus of Epirus. She was the fourth wife of the King of Macedonia, Phillip II the father of Alexander. Plutarch the Ist century biographer said that since Olympias was a devout member of the orgiastic snake worshiping cult of Dionysus, therefore, she may have slept with snakes.
She was originally named Polyxena as Plutarch mentions in his work Moralia. She had changed her name to Myrtale prior to her marriage to Philip II . Maybe she had take the name Olympias in recognition of Phillip's victory in the Olympic Games of 356 BC. She was finally named Stratonice, which was likely an epithet attached to Olympias following her victory over Eurydice in 317 BC.
