Apama (
Sogdian baron Spitamenes.[3][4][5][6] Apame was the only of the Susa wives to become queen as, unlike the other generals, Seleucus kept her after Alexander's death.[7]
Apama had three children with her husband: Antiochus I Soter (who inherited the Seleucid throne), Achaeus, and a daughter also called Apama.
Circa 300-297 BC, Seleucus married Stratonice, daughter of Demetrius I of Macedon, by whom he had a daughter called Phila.[8] According to Malalas's chronicle, he married her after the death of Apama [8] but, according to other sources, she was still alive, as the people of Miletus honored her with a statue that year.[9]
