The Argeads, also known as the Temenids, were the founders and first historical ruling dynasty of the ancient kingdom of Macedonia. They ruled Macedonia uninterrupted from around 650 BC until 310 BC and the murder of the last male Argead, Alexander IV. King 4

Amyntas and Athens
Around 510 BC, sometime after his submission to Persia, Amyntas offered the region of Anthemus in northwest Chalcidice to the exiled Athenian tyrant, Hippias (Herodotus 5.94) (Borza 116). He ultimately rejected the gift, as well as a Thessalian proposal for the city of Iolcus, and instead fled to Sigeum in Anatolia (Xydopoulos).

There is also some disagreement over the date of Persian submission, 513, 512, 511, 510.

Amyntas was the first Macedonian ruler to have diplomatic relations with other states. In particular, he entered into an alliance with Hippias of Athens, and when Hippias was driven out of Athens he offered him the territory of Anthemus on the Thermaic Gulf with the object of taking advantage of the feuds between the Greeks. Hippias refused the offer and also rejected the offer of Iolcus, as Amyntas probably did not control Anthemus at that time, but was merely suggesting a plan of joint occupation to Hippias.

Aside from his meeting with the Persian envoys, Amyntas' offer to Hippias is the only other known event from his reign.

Alcetas (Ἀλκέτας; died c. 413 BC) was a member of the Argead dynasty and a son of Alexander I, king of the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedonia.

Succession
Following Alexander's death in the mid 450s BC, Alcetas' brother Perdiccas II succeeded to the throne as sole ruler. However, an older theory, promoted in part by German historian Otto Abel, asserts that Alcetas, rather than Perdiccas, became king. Abel claims Alcetas ruled alone until 448, when Perdiccas usurped his authority and governed with their brother Philip until 437. Similarly, British historian Nicholas Hammond maintained that the Assembly of Macedonians instead divided the Kingdom between the three, with each ruling as a king in their own right.

Both of these views have been widely dismissed by modern scholarship. There is no evidence that Macedonia was formally partitioned, either by Alexander I or by the Assembly. All coinage from this period has been attributed to Perdiccas and, moreover, only he appears as Alexander's successor in Argead ruler lists. Alcetas and Philip both possessed their own local realms, but these may have only been large estates or, in the case of Philip, simply where the majority of their followers lived. Perdiccas annexed the territory of Alcetas at some unknown point, but ultimately spared his life.

Treaty with Athens
In 424, Perdiccas assisted the Spartan Brasidas in his expedition to Thrace during the Peloponnesian War in exchange for military aid against Arrhabaeus, king of the Lyncestians. However, after a series of disagreements, Brasidas left Macedonia, and Perdiccas began to seek peace with Sparta's enemy, Athens. These efforts led to a treaty, most likely made in 423/422, wherein Alcetas' name follows the king's on a list of Macedonian signatories.

Death
Plato, through his interlocutors in Gorgias, wrote that Perdiccas' successor, Archelaus, murdered both Alcetas and his son Alexander in order to eliminate other claimants to the throne.
