	Fragments of a Faith Forgotten: The Gnosis According to its Foes: ''Epiphanes''
		Epiphanes was the son of Carpocrates and Alexandria, a lady of Cephallenia.
		He died at the early age of seventeen, and was worshipped as a god with the most elaborate and lascivious rites by the Cephallenians, in the great temple of Samē, on the day of the new moon.

	The Doctrine of Carpocrates
		The Devil (called Abolus, by Epiphanes, the son of Carpocrates,) was an entity acknowledged by Carpocrates, and proclaimed to be in league with the ruler of the World, his double agent carrying on the dark, cruel aspect of control, that which the Ruler and his Angels do not want to seem to be responsible for.
		The veneration of Epiphanes as a god leads one to believe that though on the surface, Christianity had entered into the Platonic-Libertine vision of Carpocrates, the meetings in the Temple on the new-moon, the blood sacrifices and the pouring of libations are all part of the Roman Religion, which Christianity expressly forbade.
		Epiphanes demonstrates that the Carpocratians were not entirely like later Gnostic schools, such as the Marcionites, Phibionites and the later Cathars, who despised worldly existence and therefore encouraged homosexuality as a sacred form of sexuality that did not add souls to the enslavement of mankind.

	Is the reference in Daniel 8 to 2300 days a prophecy of Antiochus Epiphanes or Antichrist? - Rev. Bill Lee-Warner
		The "near" prophecy of Daniel 8:9-12 (the first vision) was fulfilled in the historical figure of Antiochus Epiphanes (175 B.C. to 164 B.C.), "the small horn" (Daniel 8:9).
		The "far" prophecy of Daniel 8:23-25 (the second vision) will be fulfilled when "the fourth beast", "the little horn" (Daniel 7:8) appears at the end of history or at "the time of the end".
		In other words, the ethnic roots of the nations existing during the time of the first prophecy will continue to exist in some manner until "the time of the end" when the ultimate prophecy will be fulfilled in "the little horn" or "the fourth beast".

	From Epiphanes to Epimanes by Tim Case
		This one king is said to have almost single-handedly "Hellenized" the Jewish people by forcing them to abandon their historical faith or be murdered, putting an end to the daily sacrifices in the Temple and thus instigating a war with the Jewish people that lasted for 3 deadly years.
		Therefore, before we get into Antiochus Epiphanes reign, it is necessary to set the historical stage for his ascendancy to the Syrian throne.
		Briefly, this is the world that Antiochus Epiphanes was brought up in; a world of religious tolerance, taught and practiced by his father Antiochus the Great, Alexander the Great, and the Persians, and inherent in the ancient philosophies of the time of both the Greeks and the Romans.
