<p> '''''an''''' -'''''tı̄´o''''' -'''''kus''''' ( Ἀντίοχος Σωτήρ , <i> '''''Antı́ochos Sōtḗr''''' </i> , "savior"): born 323 bc; died 261, son of [[Seleucus]] Nicator. He fell in love with his stepmother, Stratonike, and became very ill. His father, when he discovered the cause of his son's illness, gave her to him in 293, and yielded to him the sovereignty over all the countries beyond the Euphrates, as well as the title of king. When Seleucus returned to [[Macedonia]] in 281, he was murdered by Ptolemeus Ceraunus. [[Antiochus]] thus became ruler of the whole [[Syrian]] kingdom. He waged war on [[Eumenes]] of Pergamum, but without success. For the victories of his elephant corps over the Gauls, who had settled in Asia Minor, he received the surname of [[Soter]] ("Deliverer"). It was in a battle with these inveterate foes of his country that he met his death (261 bc). See also [[Seleucidae]] . </p> | |||
