Detail Page   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25) Stratonice was willing to face death in defense of the status and honors that she believed were her due. Stratonice left him in 239, before he divorced her, obstensibly on account of infertility; however, his immediate marriage to Phthia—which cemented an alliance with Olympias (2) and strengthened his claim over Macedonia—suggests a stronger reason. Stratonice approached her nephew Seleucus II, who succeeded her father as ruler of the Seleucid Empire, with an offer of marriage, which he rebuffed. www.fofweb.com /Onfiles/Ancient/AncientDetail.asp?iPin=AGRW0411   (193 words)

Stratonice of Syria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Stratonice (in Greek Στρατoνικη) was the daughter of king Demetrius Poliorcetes and Phila, the daughter of Antipater. In 300 BC, at which time she could not have been more than seventeen years of age, her hand was solicited by Seleucus, king of Syria, and she was conducted by her father Demetrius to Rhosus, on the Pierian coast (in Macedonia), where her nuptials were celebrated with the utmost magnificence. She bore three children to Antiochus: Antiochus II Theos, who was to succeed his father as king; Apama, married to Magas, king of Cyrene; and Stratonice. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Stratonice_of_Syria   (208 words)

Demetrius I of Macedon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Demetrius I (337-283 BC, Greek: Δημήτριος), surnamed Poliorcetes ("Besieger"), son of Antigonus I Monophthalmus and Stratonice, was a king of Macedon (294 - 288 BC). At the age of twenty-two he was left by his father to defend Syria against Ptolemy the son of Lagus; he was totally defeated in Battle of Gaza, but soon partially repaired his loss by a victory in the neighbourhood of Myus. Athens was at this time oppressed by the tyranny of Lachares, but Demetrius, after a protracted blockade, gained possession of the city (294 BC) and pardoned the inhabitants for their former misconduct. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Demetrius_I_Poliorcetes   (672 words)

CGFA- David: Antiochus and Stratonice This prince was afflicted with a malady that was causing him to waste away, and appeared to be incurable. On the left, Erasistratus is seated while Antiochus lies in bed; on the right, Stratonice is standing and Seleucus is leaning forward. The colors David would always favor- white, blue, yellow, red, flesh and gold tones, gray and brown- are arranged with grace and sup- pleness as they softly ascend toward the red of Erasistratus's robe, the softer tone of the king's toga, and the indigo blue of the large drapery hanging from the ceiling. cgfa.sunsite.dk /jdavid/s-jdavid2.htm   (523 words)

Stratonice Assuming her to be the Stratonice of OGIS 14, the inscription would have to be dated before her marriage to Seleucus I, i.e. His first wife was Stratonice, daughter of the first Stratonice by Antiochus I. This marriage broke up before the death of Antiochus II in 246, because of his marriage at about that time to Phthia, daughter of Alexander II of Epirus. If Stratonice was a daughter of Demetrius II by his wife Stratonice, as her name suggests, she was at least 26 years old at this time. www.tyndale.cam.ac.uk /Egypt/ptolemies/stratonice.htm   (909 words)

Antiochus and Stratonice, from the Life of Demetrius To add to this unexpected good fortune, news arrived that Ptolemy had dismissed his mother and children, bestowing upon them presents and honors; and also that his daughter Stratonice, whom he had married to Seleucus, was remarried to Antiochus, the son of Seleucus, and proclaimed queen of Upper Asia. He therefore waited continually in his chamber, and when any of the beauties of the court made their visits to the sick prince, he observed the emotions and alterations in the countenance of Antiochus, and watched for the changes which he knew to be indicative of the inward passions and inclinations of the soul.

The story, set in ancient Syria, concerns Prince Antiochus, who is secretly in love with his father the king's, fiancee, Stratonice. www.truefresco.org /bookshop/viewproduct.php?country=us&asin=B000005E42   (611 words)

Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres / Antiochus and Stratonice / c. 1834 Context: The ancient tale of Antiochus and Stratonice presented Ingres an opportunitiy to mingle classicism with eroticism. Antiochus, son of Seleucus, the king of Syria, lies in bed dying of frustrated love for his stepmother Stratonice, seen at the left. Seleucus, who kneels at the foot of the bed, later gave up his wife to cure hisson.Some areas of the canvas appear unfinished because this is Ingres' first version of the composition. www.davidrumsey.com /amico/amico5100240-36021.html   (363 words)

Demetrius by Plutarch To add to this unexpected good fortune, news arrived that Ptolemy had dismissed his mother and children, bestowing upon them presents and honours; and also that his daughter Stratonice, whom he had married to Seleucus, was remarried to Antiochus, the son of Seleucus, and proclaimed Queen of Upper Asia. He therefore waited continually in his chamber, and when any of the beauties of the court made their visit to the sick prince, he observed the emotions and alterations in the countenance of Antiochus, and watched for the changes which he knew to be indicative of the inward passions and inclinations of the soul. But, trusting to the tenderness of Seleucus for the young man, he put on all the assurances he could, and at last, on some opportunity, spoke out and told him the malady was love, a love impossible to gratify or relieve. www.4literature.net /Plutarch/Demetrius/10.html   (745 words)

Berlioz and Méhul. Includes full scores of Méhul which may be viewed and played online I admired greatly the overture to Stratonice, the aria of Seleucus "Versez tous vos chagrins" and the quartet of the doctor’s examination; but I found the score as a whole somewhat cold. A letter of 21 January 1825 (CG no. 40) lists Gluck, Sacchini, Méhul, his teacher Lesueur, and the singers Dérivis and Mme Branchu as figures ‘that are designed to excite to the highest degree the enthusiasm of sensitive souls’. But after this date references to Méhul in Berlioz’s correspondence become rare and are all very brief, unlike the numerous references to Beethoven, Gluck, Spontini and Weber, not to mention Shakespeare or Virgil. www.hberlioz.com /Predecessors/mehul.htm   (1917 words)

The Frick Collection: Education: School Partnerships After his work was severely criticized in 1834, however, he left Paris and returned to Rome, where he stayed for seven years as Director of the French Academy. One of his major productions there was Antiochus and Stratonice (1840), from which the pose in the present painting seems to derive (he would use a similar pose in many other works). The critical success of Antiochus and Stratonice allowed him to make a triumphant return to Paris in 1841, where he stayed until his death in 1867. www.frick.org /education/looking_ingres.htm   (1647 words)

The union commenced under such strange auspices seems to have been a prosperous one, but we find little subsequent mention of Stratonice. According to another ac­count, she was in hopes to induce Seleucus himself to marry her; but that monarch was wholly occu­pied with the recovery of Babylonia and the upper provinces of the empire. While he was thus en­gaged, Stratonice took advantage of his absence to raise a revolt against him at Antioch; but she was easily expelled from that city on the return of Seleucus, and took refuge in Seleucia, where she was besieged, taken prisoner, and put to death. www.ancientlibrary.com /smith-bio/3258.html   (895 words)
