Topic: Antiochus Hierax


  
  Seleucid Dynasty - LoveToKnow 1911
Antiochus I. Soter (324 or 323-262) was half a Persian, his mother Apame being one of those eastern princesses whom Alexander had given as wives to his generals in 324.
Antiochus seemed to have restored the Seleucid empire in the east, and the achievement brought him the title of " the Great King." In 205/4 the infant Ptolemy V. Epiphanes succeeded to the Egyptian throne, and Antiochus concluded a secret pact with Philip of Macedonia for the partition of the Ptolemaic possessions.
Antiochus Grypus had given his daughter in marriage to Mithradates (q.v.), a king of Commagene, and the subsequent kings of Commagene (see under ANTIOCxus) claimed in consequence still to represent the Seleucid house after it had become extinct in the male line, and adopted Antiochus as the dynastic name.

 Antiochus Hierax - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Antiochus Hierax (in Greek Aντιoχoς Ιεραξ; killed 227 BC), so called from his grasping and ambitious character, was a separatist ruler of the Greek Seleucid kingdom, the younger son of Antiochus II, Seleucid king of Syria.
This war lasted for many years, but Antiochus was at length entirely defeated, chiefly through the efforts of Attalus, king of Pergamon, who drove him out of Anatolia.
Antiochus subsequently fled to Egypt where he was killed by robbers in 227 BC.

 Seleucid Empire - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
Antiochus I (reigned 281-261 BC) and his son and successor Antiochus II Theos (reigned 261-246 BC) were faced with challenges in the west, including repeated wars with Ptolemy II and a Celtic invasion of Asia Minor -- distracting attention from holding the eastern portions of the Empire together.
Antiochus and Philip V of Macedon then made a compact to divide the Ptolemaic possessions outside of Egypt, and in the Fifth Syrian War, the Seleucids ousted Ptolemy V from control of Coele-Syria.
Demetrius Nicator's brother, Antiochus VII, was ultimately able to restore a fleeting unity and vigour to the Seleucid domains, but he too proved unequal to the Parthian threat: he was killed in battle with the Parthians in 129 BC, leading to the final collapse of the Seleucid hold on Babylonia.

 Justin: Epitome of the Philippic History of Pompeius Trogus, Book 27
But Antiochus, though he was but fourteen years old, yet, being greedy of dominion beyond his years, caught at the opportunity, not with the kindly feeling with which it was offered, but, like a robber, desiring to take the whole kingdom from his brother, assumed, boy as he was, a manly and unprincipled audacity.
In the battle that followed Antiochus was victor, indeed, through the prowess of the Gauls; but they, thinking that Seleucus had fallen on the field, began to turn their arms against Antiochus himself, in the: hope of ravaging Asia with greater freedom, if they destroyed the whole royal family.
When Antiochus was overthrown, and Eumenes had possessed himself of the greater part of the country, the two brothers, though the prize for which they had fought was lost, could not even then come to an agreement, but, leaving their foreign enemies unmolested, continued the war for the destruction of each other.

 History of the Syrian Kingdom of the Seleucids
Antiochus I. (Soter) succeeded to his father's dominions, B.C. 280, and shortly became engaged in hostilities with Zipoctes and Nicomedes, native kings of Bithynia, the former of whom had successfully maintained his independence against Lysimachus.
Antiochus was unwise to provoke the hostility of the Romans, and foolish, when he had provoked it, not to take the advice of Hannibal as to the mode in which the war should be conducted.
Antiochus Sidetes upon this became sole monarch of Syria, B.C. 137, and contracted a marriage with Cleopatra, his captive brother's wife, who considered herself practically divorced by her husband's captivity and marriage with a Parthian princess.

280, Antiochus suc­ceeded to the whole of his dominions, and prose­cuted his claims to the throne of Macedonia against Antigonus Gonatas, but eventually allowed the latter to retain possession of Macedonia on his marrying Phila, the daughter of Seleucus and Stratonice.
The rest of Antiochus' reign was chiefly occupied in wars with the Gauls, who had invaded Asia Minor.
His first cousin Achaeus, who might easily have assum­ed the royal power, was of great use to Antiochus at the commencement of his reign, and recovered for the Syrian monarchy all the provinces in Asia Minor, which Attains, king of Pergamus, had ap­propriated to himself.

Antiochus I. Soter (281-261), son of Seleucus, found that instead of coming quietly into possession of his kingdom he would have to fight for it.
In spite of some victories (Antiochus is said to have won his title of Soter by a defeat of the Gauls), Asia Minor was in part lost to Syria, and the Seleucid possessions there constantly dwindled under the attacks of Macedonians and Egyptians, the whole north of that region was also lost to the Armenians.
Antiochus at once recovered parts of the Phenician littoral, which was but the beginning of a series of operations which was to win Egyptian possessions in Asia for Syria.

Antiochus must have suspected that the ultimatum was a bluff and the Romans were in no mood to fight so he continued to rebuild Lysimachea which served as his outpost until at least 190 BC.

Part of the agreement between Ptolemy II and Antiochus II that ended the Second Syrian War (259-253) was the marriage of the latter to Ptolemy's daughter Berenike, thus displacing Antiochus' first queen, Laodike, and preparing the dynastic rivalry in the Seleucid house that erupted into the Third Syrian War on the death of Antiochus.
After the death of Antiochus II, Laodike's son succeeded him as Seleucus II, and she forthwith saw to the murder of Berenike and her infant son at Antioch.

They were eventually defeated by the Seleucid king Antiochus I, in a battle where the Seleucid war elephants shocked the Celts.
Hierax tried to defeat king Attalus I of Pergamum (241–197 BCE), but instead, the hellenised cities united under his banner, and his armies inflicted several severe defeats upon them, about 232 forcing them to settle permanently and to confine themselves to the region to which they had already given their name.
In the early 2nd century BCE they proved terrible allies of Antiochus the Great, the last Seleucid king trying to regain suzerainity over Asia Minor, but after the defeat of the Seleucid king to the Romans, Rome at last proved a worthy protection against them.

The marriage of Antiochus II to Berenice, daughter of Ptolemy II Philadelphus, brought about a temporary cessation of the struggle; but on Ptolemy's death, Laodice, the first and disowned wife of Antiochus, was recalled and avenged herself by having Antiochus, Berenice, and their child put to death.
On his father’s death there was a struggle for the throne between Seleucus and his stepmother, Berenice (on behalf of her infant son).
