She was a lesser-known yet significant figure in the Hellenistic period as a member of the Aeacid dynasty, which ruled Epirus.

Troas of Epirus was the daughter of Aeacides, King of Epirus, and the sister of the famous Pyrrhus of Epirus, a celebrated military commander.

Born in the late 4th century BCE in Epirus, Troas was part of the royal family that played a central role in the political and military alliances of the time.

As a royal woman in Epirus, Troas likely contributed to the kingdom’s diplomatic and dynastic strategies, though little is documented about her personal achievements or political activities.

Her connections to Pyrrhus suggest that she had an indirect influence on the broader political landscape, as marriages and familial ties were critical tools of diplomacy in the Hellenistic world.

The details of her death are unknown, but her role in the Aeacid dynasty places her among the influential figures of her time, shaping Epirus’s history during a dynamic and challenging period.

– Name: Troas of Epirus
