Potential Wives for Alexander IV Argead?

They would have all been several years younger than him, but Demetrius, Ptolemy and Seleucus did have daughters he could have married. Thing is, none of them would have consented to such arrangement. The Diadochi, save for Perdiccas and Eumenes, were all set on carving their own power base, formally respecting the Argead’s right to eventually rule, while practically sidelining him at every possible chance. The son of Alexander himself, once he reached maturity, would have been too dangerous an opponent to be left alive, as were all those even allegedly related to him, that’s why they were all kept in captivity and eventually executed.

For Alexander to marry any of the diadochi’s daughters, you’d need a POD from 316 BCE where Olympia beats Cassander and Eumenes kills Antigonus.
