Heliodorus - ancient times. Heliodorus was a minister of Seleucus IV Philopator ca. 175 BC, and is said to have assassinated Seleucus. 2 Maccabees reports that he entered the Temple in Jerusalem in order to take its treasure, but was turned back by three angels. Heliodorus of Athens wrote fifteen books on the Acropolis of Athens, possibly about 150 BC. Another Heliodorus was a metrist in the 1st century AD who did work on the comedies of Aristophanes. He was the principal authority used by Juba of Mauretania. At about the same time there was a surgeon named Heliodorus, probably from Egypt, and mentioned by Juvenal. This Heliodorus wrote several books on medical technique which have survived in fragments and in the works of Orobasius. Heliodorus, of Emesa in Syria, Greek writer generally.

Demetrius I of Syria - Demetrius I of Syria Demetrius I (d. 150 BC), surnamed Soter, was sent to Rome as a hostage during the reign of his father, Seleucus IV Philopator, but after his father's death in 175 BC he escaped from confinement, and established himself on the Syrian throne (162 BC) after overthrowing and murdering King Antiochus V Eupator. He acquired his surname of Soter, or Saviour, from the Babylonians, whom he delivered from the tyranny of the Median satrap, Timarchus, and is famous in Jewish history for his contests with the Maccabees. Hated for his vices, Demetrius fell in battle against the usurper, Alexander Balas, in 150 BC. '\'This entry was originally from the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica.''

Alexandretta, Syria - southeast of the gulf to which it gives a title. Its population in 1900 was about 10,000, two-thirds Muslims. Current population is around 175,000. Iskanderun preserves the name, but probably not the exact site, of Alexandria ad Issum, founded by Alexander the Great in 333 BC, about 23 miles south of the scene of his victory, to supersede Myriandrus as key of the Syrian Gates (Beilan Pass). The importance of the place ever since has been derived from its relation to this pass, the easiest approach to the open ground of Hatay and Northern Syria; and this relation has prevailed over the extreme unhealthiness of the site, which lies on marshy deltaic ground, screened by the horseshoe of Elma Dagh from all purifying influences of north and east winds. As the.
Antiochus - the name of several Syrian kings between 280 BC to 65 BC. The most notable of these were: Antiochus III the Great, who ascended the throne 223 BC. He is regarded as the "king of the north" referred to in Dan. 11:13-19. He was succeeded (187) by his son, Seleucus IV Philopator, spoken of by Daniel (11:20) as "a raiser of taxes", in the Revised Version, "one that shall cause an exactor to pass through the glory of the kingdom." Antiochus IV, surnamed "Epiphanes" i.e., the Illustrious, succeeded his brother Seleucus (175 BC). His career and character are prophetically described by Daniel (11:21-32). He was a "vile person." In a spirit of revenge he organized an expedition against Jerusalem, which he destroyed, putting vast multitudes of its inhabitants to death in.
Antiochus IV Epiphanes - after the death of his elder brother Antiochus) (175 - 163 BC) was one of the Seleucid emperors, son of Antiochus III the Great and brother of Seleucus IV Philopator. Antiochus rose to power after the death of the latter; he had been hostage in Rome following the peace of Apamea in 188 BC but had lately been exchanged for the son and rightful heir of Seleucus IV, the laterDemetrius I Soter. Taking advantage of this situation, Antiochus could easily proclaim himself as co-regent with another of Seleucus' sons, the infant Antiochus, whom he had murdered a few years later. Notable events during his reign include the near-conquest of Egypt, which was halted by the threat of Roman intervention, and the beginning of the Jewish revolt of the Maccabees. He was.
Arrian - 138, Arrian retired to Athens, where he became a citizen and a member of the Boule (Council). In 145 he held the post of Archon, once the city's leading political post but by this time an honorary one. It was here that he devoted himself to history, writing his most important work, the Anabasis Alexandri or The Campaigns of Alexander. He also wrote the Indica, an account of the voyage by Alexander's fleet from India to the Persian Gulf under Nearchus. He also wrote a political history of the Greek world after Alexander, most of which is lost. Arrian died in Athens in about 175. Arrian is an important historian because his work on Alexander is the oldest surviving complete account of the Macedonian conqueror. Arrian was able to use sources.
