# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Stateira was the daughter of Darius III, whose defeat at the Battle of Issus in 333 BC made her and her sisters captives of Alexander of Macedon. Alexander treated the Persian royal women well during their captivity. In 324 BC, at the mass weddings in Susa designed to bind Macedonian and Persian nobility, she became Alexander's second wife; at the same ceremony he also married her cousin Parysatis, daughter of the previous Persian king. The arrangement lasted less than a year. When Alexander died in 323 BC, his first wife Roxana killed Stateira, erasing the Persian claim to any future succession.
