 Berenice (Seleucid queen) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Berenice, also called Berenice Syra, was the daughter of Ptolemy II Philadelphus and his first wife Arsinoe I of Egypt.
250 BC she married the Seleucid monarch Antiochus II Theos, who, following an agreement with Ptolemy (249 BC), had divorced his wife Laodice I and transferred the succession to Berenice's children.
In 246 BC, when Ptolemy died, Berenice took Regency and conquered Soloia with her army, but Antiochus repudiated Berenice and took back Laodice, who, however, at once poisoned him and murdered Berenice and her son.
