Argead dynasty
The Argead dynasty (Greek: Ἀργεάδαι, romanized: Argeádai), also known as the Temenid dynasty (Greek: Τημενίδαι, Tēmenídai) was an ancient Macedonian royal house of Dorian Greek provenance. They were the founders and the ruling dynasty of the ancient kingdom of Macedon from about 700 to 310 BC. Their tradition, as described in Greek historiography, traced their origins to Argos, in the Peloponnese region of southern Greece.
