Abstract
Zenobia’s marriage to Odainath, the Palmyrene dynast, had a huge impact on her life. Her rise to power would thereafter be closely linked to his political fortunes. This chapter examines the prominence of Odainath and the children that Zenobia bore to him. Historical sources present confusing accounts of the number of children they had. The only undisputed child is Wahballath, though she may have had other children in the late 250s and 260s. Zenobia also was a property owner, for in Palmyra women could own and manage property. This chapter also gives a detailed account of Odainath’s successful political and military career as Palmyra’s leader.
