 abstract = {Arsinoe ii had played such a controversial role at the Ptolemaic court that the king omitted her cult during the great celebration of 262. Her role has scarcely become less controversial. Early in the twentieth century, A. Bouché-Leclercq, W.W. Tarn, E.R. Bevan, M. Cary, and other scholars presumed that she had dominated her brother and had played a major role in shaping his policies at home and abroad.¹ Feminists liked this assessment. To Grace Macurdy, Arsinoe was a ʹmanaging womanʹ who charmed Lysimachos and Ptolemy ii, murdered the Eurydikean side of the family, directed the First Syrian War (274–271},
