His widow was the powerful Greek monarch <a href="/wiki/Apama_II" title="Apama II">Apama II</a>.

Demetrius agreed to Apama's request and married Berenice. When he married Berenice and became king, there was no opposition in his rise to the throne, but he became ambitious to the point of recklessness. </p><p>Sometime after his marriage to Berenice, Demetrius and Apama became lovers. Jealous of her husband's affair with her mother, Berenice argued with both of them and consented to the assassination of Demetrius, who died in Apama's arms. The poem <i>Coma Berenices</i> by Greek poet <a href="/wiki/Callimachus" title="Callimachus">Callimachus</a> (lost, but known in a Latin translation or paraphrase by <a href="/wiki/Catullus" title="Catullus">Catullus</a>), apparently refers to her coup against Demetrius: "Let me remind you how stout-hearted you were even as a young girl: have you forgotten the brave deed by which you gained a royal marriage?" </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="First_marriage_and_children">First marriage and children</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Demetrius_the_Fair&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: First marriage and children"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Demetrius's first marriage was to an Olympias, a Greek noblewoman from <a href="/wiki/Larissa" title="Larissa">Larissa</a>, the daughter of a nobleman, Polycletus or Polyclitus of Larissa.

A few months before his paternal second cousin King <a href="/wiki/Philip_V_of_Macedon" title="Philip V of Macedon">Philip V of Macedon</a>’s death, Echecrates' son Antigonus revealed to Philip that Philip's son, the prince <a href="/wiki/Perseus_of_Macedon" title="Perseus of Macedon">Perseus of Macedon</a>, had made false accusations against his brother, Philip's other son, Demetrius, whom Philip had then had put to death.
