Dinasti Argeadai (yunani: ἈργεάδαιἈργεάδαι, Argeádai), juga dikenal sebagai Dinasti Temenid, adalah wangsa Makedonia kuno yang berasal dari Yunani Doria.^[1][2][3] Mereka adalah pendiri dan dinasti penguasa kerajaan Makedonia dari sekitar 700 hingga 310 SM.^[4]

Tradisi mereka, seperti yang dijelaskan dalam historiografi Yunani kuno, menelusuri asal-usul mereka ke Argos, dari Peloponnesa di Yunani Selatan, maka nama Argeadai atau Argives.^[1][5][6] Awalnya para penguasa suku dengan nama yang sama,^[7] pada saat Filipus II mereka telah memperluas pemerintahan mereka lebih jauh, untuk memasukkan di bawah pemerintahan Makedonia semua negara bagian Makedonia Hulu. Anggota wangsa yang paling terkenal adalah Filipus II dari Makedonia dan putranya Aleksander Agung, di bawah kepemimpinannya kerajaan Makedonia secara bertahap memperoleh dominasi di seluruh Yunani, mengalahkan Kekaisaran Akhemeniyah dan berkembang hingga Mesir dan India. Pendiri mitos dinasti Argeadai adalah Raja Karanos.^[8][9] Wangsa Argeadai mengaku sebagai keturunan dari Herakles melalui cicitnya Temenos, juga raja Argos.

Thus the kings were of largely Dorian Greek stock (see PHILIP (1)); they presumably spoke a form of Dorian Greek and their cultural tradition had Greek features."

9. ^ According to Pausanias (Description of Greece 9.40.8–9), Caranus set up a trophy after the Argive fashion for a victory against Cisseus: "The Macedonians say that Caranus, king of Macedonia, overcame in battle Cisseus, a chieftain in a bordering country. For his victory Caranus set up a trophy after the Argive fashion, but it is said to have been upset by a lion from Olympus, which then vanished. Caranus, they assert, realized that it was a mistaken policy to incur the undying hatred of the non-Greeks dwelling around, and so, they say, the rule was adopted that no king of Macedonia, neither Caranus himself nor any of his successors, should set up trophies, if they were ever to gain the good-will of their neighbors. This story is confirmed by the fact that Alexander set up no trophies, neither for his victory over Dareius nor for those he won in India."
