Antiochus II Theos
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Antiochus II Theos (286–246 BC), was a king of the Hellenistic Seleucid Kingdom who reigned 261–246 BC). He succeeded his father Antiochus I Soter in 261 BC. He was the son of Antiochus I and princess Stratonice, the daughter of Demetrius Poliorcetes.

He inherited a state of war with Egypt, which was fought along the coasts of Asia Minor (the "Second Syrian War"). Antiochus also made some attempt to get a footing in Thrace. During the war he was given the title "Theos" which means "God" in Greek, being such to the Milesians in slaying the tyrant Timarchus.

In Bactria, his satrap Diodotus revolted in 255 BC, and founded the Greco-Bactrian kingdom, which further expanded in India in 180 BC to form the Greco-Indian kingdom (180–1 BC). Then about 250 BC, Arsaces led a revolt of the Parthians, which deprived him of those territories.

About this time, Antiochus made peace with Ptolemy II, ending the Second Syrian War. Antiochus repudiated his wife Laodice and married Ptolemy's daughter Berenice to seal their treaty, but by 246 BC Antiochus had left Berenice and her infant son in Antioch to live again with Laodice in Asia Minor.

Laodice poisoned Berenice, her infant son, and in time Antiochus. She then proclaimed her own son Seleucus II Callinicus king.

Antiochus II, called Theos (“the divine”) (circa 287-246 bc), king of Syria (261-246 bc), son and successor of Antiochus I. The citizens of Miletus, in Asia Minor, called him Theos after he freed them from the tyrant Timarchus (flourished 3rd century bc) in 258 bc. Having fought a long and costly war (260-255 bc) against Ptolemy II, king of Egypt, Antiochus won back most of the territories his father had lost, only to be defeated in 250 bc by his own satrap, or provincial governor, Diodotus I (reigned about 256-235 bc), who seized the Syrian province of Bactria. Subsequently, Antiochus also lost the province of Parthia to the Parthian dynasty of the Arsacids.

Antiochus II Theos (Greek: Αντίοχος Β' Θεός, 286 BC–246 BC), was a king of the Hellenistic Seleucid Kingdom who reigned 261 BC–246 BC). He succeeded his father Antiochus I Soter in the winter of 262-61 BC. He was the younger son of Antiochus I and princess Stratonice, the daughter of Demetrius Poliorcetes.
He inherited a state of war with Egypt, the "Second Syrian War", which was fought along the coasts of Asia Minor, and the constant intrigues of petty despots and restless city-states in Asia Minor. Antiochus also made some attempt to get a footing in Thrace. During the war he was given the title Theos (Greek: Θεός, "God"), being such to the Milesians in slaying the tyrant Timarchus.[1]
During the time Antiochus was occupied with the war against Egypt, Andragoras, his satrap in Parthia, proclaimed independence. According to Justin's epitome of Pompeius Trogus, in Bactria, his satrap Diodotus also revolted in 255 BC, and founded the Greco-Bactrian kingdom, which further expanded in India in 180 BC to form the Greco-Indian kingdom (180 BC–1 BC). Then about 238 BC, Arsaces led a revolt of the Parthians against Andragoras, leading to the foundation of the Parthian Empire. These events would have cut off communications with India.
About this time, Antiochus made peace with Ptolemy II of Egypt, ending the Second Syrian War. Antiochus repudiated his wife Laodice and exiled her to Ephesus. To seal the treaty, he married Ptolemy's daughter Berenice and received an enormous dowry.

During her stay in Ephesus, Laodice continued numerous intrigues to become queen again. By 246 BC Antiochus had left Berenice and her infant son in Antioch to live again with Laodice in Asia Minor. Laodice took the occasion to poison Antiochus while her partisans at Antioch murdered Berenice and her infant son.
She then proclaimed her own son Seleucus II Callinicus king. Antiochus II and Laodice were also the parents of Laodice, the wife of Mithridates II.
Phylarchus[2] relays current scandals regarding his drunken banquets and liaisons with unsuitable young men.
Antiochus is mentioned[3] in the Edicts of Ashoka, as one of the recipients of the Indian Emperor Ashoka's Buddhist proselytizing, although no Western historical record of this event remains:
"And even this conquest [preaching Buddhism] has been won by the Beloved of the Gods here and in all the borderlands, as far as six hundred yojanas (5,400-9,600 km) away, where Antiochos, king of the Yavanas [Westerners] rules, and beyond this Antiochus four kings named Ptolemy, Antigonos, Magas and Alexander rule,"[4].
Ashoka also claims that he encouraged the development of herbal medicine, for men and animals, in the territories of the Hellenistic kings:
"Everywhere within Beloved-of-the-Gods, King Piyadasi's [Ashoka's] domain, and among the people beyond the borders, the Cholas, the Pandyas, the Satiyaputras, the Keralaputras, as far as Tamraparni and where the Greek king Antiochos rules, and among the kings who are neighbors of Antiochos, everywhere has Beloved-of-the-Gods, King Piyadasi, made provision for two types of medical treatment: medical treatment for humans and medical treatment for animals. Wherever medical herbs suitable for humans or animals are not available, I have had them imported and grown. Wherever medical roots or fruits are not available I have had them imported and grown. Along roads I have had wells dug and trees planted for the benefit of humans and animals."

He inherited a state of war with Egypt, the "Second Syrian War", which was fought along the coasts of Asia Minor, and the constant intrigues of petty despots and restless city-states in Asia Minor. Antiochus also made some attempt to get a footing in Thrace. During the war he was given the title Theos (Greek: Θεός, "God"), being such to the Milesians in slaying the tyrant Timarchus.[1]

During the time Antiochus was occupied with the war against Egypt, Andragoras, his satrap in Parthia, proclaimed independence. According to Justin's epitome of Pompeius Trogus, in Bactria, his satrap Diodotus also revolted in 255 BC, and founded the Greco-Bactrian kingdom, which further expanded in India in 180 BC to form the Greco-Indian kingdom (180 BC–1 BC). Then about 238 BC, Arsaces led a revolt of the Parthians against Andragoras, leading to the foundation of the Parthian Empire. These events would have cut off communications with India.

About this time, Antiochus made peace with Ptolemy II of Egypt, ending the Second Syrian War. Antiochus repudiated his wife Laodice and exiled her to Ephesus. To seal the treaty, he married Ptolemy's daughter Berenice and received an enormous dowry.

During her stay in Ephesus, Laodice continued numerous intrigues to become queen again. By 246 BC Antiochus had left Berenice and her infant son in Antioch to live again with Laodice in Asia Minor. Laodice took the occasion to poison Antiochus while her partisans at Antioch murdered Berenice and her infant son.

She then proclaimed her own son Seleucus II Callinicus king. Antiochus II and Laodice were also the parents of Laodice, the wife of Mithridates II.

Antiochus II, called Theos ("the divine") (circa 287-246 bc), king of
Syria (261-246 bc), son and successor of Antiochus I. The citizens of
Miletus, in Asia Minor, called him Theos after he freed them from the
tyrant Timarchus (flourished 3d century bc) in 258 bc. Having fought a
long and costly war (260-255 bc) against Ptolemy II, king of Egypt,
Antiochus won back most of the territories his father had lost, only to be
defeated in 250 bc by his own satrap, or provincial governor, Diodotus I
(reigned about 256-235 bc), who seized the Syrian province of Bactria.
Subsequently, Antiochus also lost the province of Parthia to the Parthian
dynasty of the Arsacids.
Antiochus II Theos (286-246 BC reigned 261 - 246 BC), whose mother wasthe Macedonian princess Stratonice, daughter of Demetrius Poliorcetes,succeeded his father Antiochus I Soter as head of the Seleucid dynasty on261 BC.

--------------------
Antiochus Theos name is also revealing. Antiochus meant "against" or"instead of." Theos is the Greek word for God. So together the name means"instead of" "God" or "Antichrist." Loadice was married to Antichrist.Antiochus assumed the name "Theos" after stealing some of Ptolemy's"Philadelphus" people. (This is the man called the King of the South inthe Book of Daniel or the King of Egypt). After winning these people from"Philadelphus" he thinks he is God. This has its parallel in theLaodicean church. Many of the people who make up its ranks are people andlocal churches stolen from "the Philadelphia Church."
