  Antiochus I Soter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On the assassination of his father Seleucus I in 281 BCE, the task of holding together the empire was a formidable one, and a revolt in Syria broke out almost immediately.
At the end of 275 BCE the question of Coele-Syria, which had been open between the houses of Seleucus and Ptolemy since the partition of 301 BCE, led to hostilities (the "First Syrian War").
His eldest son Seleucus, who had ruled in the east as viceroy from 275 BCE(?) till 268/267 BCE, was put to death in that year by his father on the charge of rebellion.

Empedocles of Agrigentum (born 492 BCE) appears to have been partly in agreement with the Eleatic School, partly in opposition to it.

 History of Constellation and Star Names
The early method of the Greek astronomer Eudoxus for determining the places of the stars was to divide the stars into named constellations and define the constellations partly by their juxtaposition, partly by their relation to the zodiac, and also by their relation to the tropical and arctic circles.
The Babylonian scheme of constellations, excepting for the development of the zodiacal scheme of 12 constellations, was mostly finalised by the late 2nd-millennium BCE (i.e., near the end of the Cassite Period circa 1160 BCE).
The only significant change that took place in the early 1st-millennium BCE was the development of the 12-constellation zodiacal scheme (and the shift from the scheme of the "three ways" to the ecliptic as the primary celestial reference point).

 207 Classical Greek Tragedy: Aeschylus, Classical Drama and Theatre
Though it dates to around 275 BCE which is well after the Classical Age, many of the data cited on the Parian Marble can be corroborated elsewhere and so in general it seems fairly reliable.

The earliest drama we have by Aeschylus is Persae (The Persians), produced in 472 BCE with none other than the young Pericles as choregos.
