Olympias said history will decide whether I was a good mother or a bad one in one of her letters to Alexander...

So what is your opinion about historical olympias...

We know about her entire life...and her actions in various circumstances

If we consider her personal relationship with Alexander and put aside the political aspect, I think she was a good mother. Her love for him knew no bounds and she did whatever she could to protect and support him throughout his life.

But only Alexander (or Cleopatra) can really answer that! 😉

I will also consider her a good mother. She protected her son from all the conspiracies of his jealous competitors and did everything to secure his position as the heir. She also remained in contact with him throughout his conquest and also at times warned him to be wary of his opportunist generals. After his death also, she made every possible effort to save his wife and his child. She was indeed a terrible woman but I would always rate her high as a mother. Alexander was extremely lucky to have her!
