The Nuttall Encyclopedia <ref name="term_67840" /> | <p> (Ἀντίγονος, a frequent [[Greek]] name, signifying apparently against his parent), the name of two members of the Asmonsean family. </p> <p> 1. A son of [[John]] Hyrcanus, and grandson of [[Simon]] Maccabaeus. [[His]] brother, Aristobulus, made him his associate in the kingdom, but was at length prevailed upon by their common enemies to put him to death B.C. 105 (Josephus, Ant. 13, 18 and 19). </p> <p> 2. A son of [[Aristobulus]] (brother to [[Hyrcanus]] and Alexandra), sent as a prisoner to Rome, with his father and brother, by Pompey, who had taken Jerusalem. After remaining in [[Italy]] for some time, he returned to Judaea, and, after a variety of fortunes, was established king and high-priest, [[Herod]] being compelled to fly to Rome, B.C. 40. Having obtained assistance from Antony and Caesar, Herod returned, and, after a firm and protracted resistance on the part of Antigonus, retook [[Jerusalem]] and repossessed himself of the throne. [[Antigonus]] surrendered to Sosius, the [[Roman]] general, but he was carried to Antioch, and, at the solicitation of Herod, was there ignominiously put to death by Antony, B.C. 37. [[He]] was the last of the Maccabaean princes that sat on the throne of [[Judaea]] (Josephus, Ant. 14, 13-16; Wars, 1, 18, 3; [[Dio]] Cass. 49, 22; respecting the date, see Wernsdorf, [[De]] fide Macc. p. 24; Ideler, Chronol. 1, 399). </p> | ||
