Crateuas (Ancient Greek: Κρατεύας, romanized: Krateúas, modern Kratevas), also called Craterus (Κρατερός, Kraterós), was according to some ancient sources the lover, and killer, of Archelaus I of Macedon, whom he killed to become a king himself. According to another version, Crateuas killed the king because Archelaus had promised to give him one of his daughters in marriage, but later gave her to someone else. A third version asserts that Archelaus was unintentionally struck by Crateuas during a hunt. Modern historians view the idea that Crateuas actually reigned as king of Macedon to be "obviously absurd". Read more on Wikipedia
