the illegitimate son of Philip, Alexander’s father. In the division
of the provinces after the king’s death, he received Pamphylia,
Lycia, and Phrygia. He united with Antipater and Ptolemy, to destroy
Perdiccas and Eumenes; and after the death of Perdiccas he made
continual war against Eumenes, whom, after three years of various
fortune, he took prisoner, and ordered to be starved. He afterwards
declared war against Cassander, whom he conquered, and had several
engagements by his generals with Lysimachus. He obliged Seleucus
to retire from Syria, and fly for refuge and safety to Egypt.
Ptolemy, who had established himself in Egypt, promised to defend
Seleucus, and from that time all friendship ceased between Ptolemy
and Antigonus, and a new war was begun, in which Demetrius the son
of Antigonus conquered the fleet of Ptolemy, near the island of
Cyprus, and took 16,000 men prisoners, and sunk 200 ships. After
this famous naval battle, which happened 26 years after Alexander’s
death, Antigonus and his son assumed the title of kings, and their
example was followed by all the rest of Alexander’s generals. The
power of Antigonus was now become so formidable, that Ptolemy,
Seleucus, Cassander, and Lysimachus combined together to destroy him;
yet Antigonus despised them, saying that he would disperse them as
birds. He attempted to enter Egypt in vain, though he gained several
victories over his opponents, and he at last received so many wounds
in a battle that he could not survive them, and died in the 80th
year of his age, 301 B.C. During his life, he was master of all
Asia Minor, as far as Syria; but after his death, his son Demetrius
lost Asia, and established himself in Macedonia after the death
of Cassander, and some time after attempted to recover his former
possessions, but died in captivity in the court of his son-in-law
Seleucus. Antigonus was concerned in the different intrigues of
the Greeks. He made a treaty of alliance with the Ætolians, and
was highly respected by the Athenians, to whom he showed himself
very liberal and indulgent. Antigonus discharged some of his
officers because they spent their time in taverns, and he gave
their commissions to common soldiers who performed their duty with
punctuality. A certain poet called him divine; but the king despised
his flattery, and bade him go and inquire of his servants whether
he was really what he supposed him. _Strabo_, bk. 13.――_Diodorus_,

Macedonia, and died after a reign of 34 years, leaving his son
Demetrius to succeed, B. C. 243. _Justin_, bks. 21 & 25.――_Polybius._
――_Plutarch_, _Demetrius_.――――The guardian of his nephew Philip,
the son of Demetrius, who married the widow of Demetrius and usurped
the kingdom. He was called _Doson_, from his promising much and
giving nothing. He conquered Cleomenes king of Sparta, and obliged
him to retire into Egypt, because he favoured the Ætolians against
the Greeks. He died, B.C. 221, after a reign of 11 years, leaving
his crown to the lawful possessor, Philip, who distinguished himself
by his cruelties, and the war which he made against the Romans.

――――A son of Aristobulus king of Judæa, who obtained an army from
the king of Parthia, by promising him 1000 talents and 500 women.

=Antimăchus=, a lascivious person.――――An historian.――――A Greek poet
and musician of Ionia in the age of Socrates. He wrote a treatise
on the age and genealogy of Homer, and proved him to be a native
of Colophon. He repeated one of his compositions before a large
audience, but his diction was so obscure and unintelligible that all
retired except Plato; on which he said, _Legam nihilominus, Plato
enim mihi est unus instar omnium_. He was reckoned the next to Homer
in excellence, and the emperor Adrian was so fond of his poetry
that he preferred him to Homer. He wrote a poem upon the Theban war;
and before he had brought his heroes to the city of Thebes, he had
filled 24 volumes. He was surnamed _Clarius_ from Claros, a mountain
near Colophon, where he was born. _Pausanias_, bk. 9, ch. 35.――

=Antiŏchia=, the name of a Syrian province. _Mela_, bk. 1, ch. 14.
――――A city of Syria, once the third city of the world for beauty,
greatness, and population. It was built by Antiochus and Seleucus
Nicanor, partly on a hill and partly in a plain. It has the river
Orontes in its neighbourhood, with a celebrated grove called Daphne;
whence, for the sake of distinction, it has been called Antiochia
near Daphne. _Dionysius Periegeta._――――A city called also Nisibis,
in Mesopotamia, built by Seleucus son of Antiochus.――――The capital
of Pisidia, 92 miles at the east of Ephesus.――――A city on mount
Cragus.――――Another near the river Tigris, 25 leagues from Seleucia

=Antiŏchis=, the name of the mother of Antiochus the son of Seleucus.
――――A tribe of Athens.
=Antiŏchus=, surnamed _Soter_, was son of Seleucus, and king of Syria
in Asia. He made a treaty of alliance with Ptolemy Philadelphus
king of Egypt. He fell into a lingering disease, which none of his
father’s physicians could cure for some time, till it was discovered
that his pulse was more irregular than usual when Stratonice his
stepmother entered his room, and that love for her was the cause
of his illness. This was told to the father, who willingly gave
Stratonice to his son, that his immoderate love might not cause
his death. He died 291 B.C., after a reign of 19 years. _Justin_,
bk. 17, ch. 2, &c.――_Valerius Maximus_, bk. 5.――_Polybius_, bk. 4.
――_Appian._――――The second of that name, surnamed _Theos_ (_God_)
by the Milesians, because he put to death their tyrant Timarchus,
was son and successor to Antiochus Soter. He put an end to the war
which had been begun with Ptolemy; and, to strengthen the peace,
he married Berenice, the daughter of the Ægyptian king. This so
offended his former wife Laodice, by whom he had two sons, that she
poisoned him, and suborned Artemon, whose features were similar to
his, to represent him as king. Artemon, subservient to her will,
pretended to be indisposed, and as king, called all the ministers,
and recommended to them Seleucus, surnamed Callinicus, son of
Laodice, as his successor. After this ridiculous imposture, it was
made public that the king had died a natural death, and Laodice
placed her son on the throne, and despatched Berenice and her son,
246 years before the christian era. _Appian._――――The third of that
name, surnamed the _Great_, brother to Seleucus Ceraunus, was king
of Syria and Asia, and reigned 36 years. He was defeated by Ptolemy
Philopater at Rapeia, after which he made war against Persia, and
took Sardes. After the death of Philopater, he endeavoured to crush
his infant son Epiphanes: but his guardians solicited the aid of
the Romans, and Antiochus was compelled to resign his pretensions.
He conquered the greatest part of Greece, of which some cities
implored the aid of Rome; and Annibal, who had taken refuge at his
court, encouraged him to make war against Italy. He was glad to
find himself supported by the abilities of such a general; but his
measures were dilatory, and not agreeable to the advice of Annibal,
and he was conquered and obliged to retire beyond mount Taurus, and
pay a yearly fine of 2000 talents to the Romans. His revenues being
unable to pay the fine, he attempted to plunder the temple of Belus
in Susiana, which so incensed the inhabitants, that they killed
him with his followers, 187 years before the christian era. In his
character of king, Antiochus was humane and liberal, the patron
of learning, and the friend of merit; and he published an edict,
ordering his subjects never to obey except his commands were
consistent with the laws of the country. He had three sons, Seleucus
Philopater, Antiochus Epiphanes, and Demetrius. The first succeeded
him, and the two others were kept as hostages by the Romans.

――_Florus_, bk. 2, ch. 1.――_Appian_, _Syrian Wars_.――――The fourth
Antiochus, surnamed _Epiphanes_ or _Illustrious_, was king of Syria,
after the death of his brother Seleucus, and reigned 11 years. He
destroyed Jerusalem, and was so cruel to the Jews, that they called
him _Epimanes_, or _Furious_, and not _Epiphanes_. He attempted to
plunder Persepolis without effect. He was of a voracious appetite,
and fond of childish diversions; he used for his pleasure to empty
bags of money into the streets, to see the people’s eagerness to
gather it; he bathed in the public baths with the populace, and was
fond of perfuming himself to excess. He invited all the Greeks he
could at Antioch, and waited upon them as a servant, and danced with
such indecency among the stage players, that even the most dissipate
and shameless blushed at the sight. _Polybius._――_Justin_, bk. 34,
ch. 3.――――The fifth, surnamed _Eupator_, succeeded his father
Epiphanes on the throne of Syria, 164 B.C. He made a peace with
the Jews, and in the second year of his reign was assassinated
by his uncle Demetrius, who said that the crown was lawfully his
own, and that it had been seized from his father. _Justin_, bk. 34.
――_Josephus_, bk. 12.――――The sixth king of Syria was surnamed
_Entheus_ or _Noble_. His father, Alexander Bala, entrusted him
to the care of Malcus, an Arabian; and he received the crown from
Tryphon, in opposition to his brother Demetrius, whom the people
hated. Before he had been a year on the throne, Tryphon murdered
him, 143 B.C., and reigned in his place for three years. _Josephus_,
bk. 13.――――The seventh, called _Sidetes_, reigned nine years. In
the beginning of his reign he was afraid of Tryphon, and concealed
himself, but he soon obtained the means of destroying his enemy. He
made war against Phraates king of Parthia, and he fell in the battle
which was soon after fought, about 130 years before the christian
era. _Justin_, bk. 36, ch. 1.――_Appian_, _Syrian Wars_.――――The
eighth, surnamed _Grypus_, from his _aquiline_ nose, was son of
Demetrius Nicanor by Cleopatra. His brother Seleucus was destroyed
by Cleopatra, and he himself would have shared the same fate, had he
not discovered his mother’s artifice, and compelled her to drink the
poison which was prepared for himself. He killed Alexander Zebina,
whom Ptolemy had set to oppose him on the throne of Syria, and
was at last assassinated, B.C. 112, after a reign of 11 years.
_Justin_, bk. 39, &c.――_Josephus._――_Appian._――――The ninth, surnamed
_Cyzenicus_, from the city of Cyzicus, where he received his
education, was son of Antiochus Sidetes by Cleopatra. He disputed
the kingdom with his brother Grypus, who ceded to him Cœlosyria,
part of his patrimony, He was at last conquered by his nephew
Seleucus near Antioch, and rather than to continue longer in his
hands, he killed himself, B.C. 93. While a private man, he seemed
worthy to reign; but when on the throne, he was dissolute and
tyrannical. He was fond of mechanics, and invented some useful
military engines. _Appian._――_Josephus._――――The tenth was ironically
surnamed _Pius_, because he married Selena, the wife of his father
and of his uncle. He was the son of Antiochus IX., and he expelled
Seleucus the son of Grypus from Syria, and was killed in a battle
which he fought against the Parthians, in the cause of the Galatians.
_Josephus._――_Appian._ After his death the kingdom of Syria was
torn to pieces by the faction of the royal family, or usurpers,
who, under a good or false title, under the name of Antiochus or his
relations, established themselves for a little time as sovereigns
either of Syria, or Damascus, or other dependent provinces. At
last Antiochus, surnamed _Asiaticus_, the son of Antiochus IX.,
was restored to his paternal throne by the influence of Lucullus
the Roman general, on the expulsion of Tigranes king of Armenia
from the Syrian dominions; but four years after, Pompey deposed him,
and observed, that he who had hid himself while a usurper sat upon
his throne, ought not to be a king. From that time, B.C. 65, Syria
became a Roman province, and the race of Antiochus was extinguished.

=Antiŏpe=, a daughter of Nycteus king of Thebes by Polyxo, was beloved
by Jupiter, who, to deceive her, changed himself into a satyr.
She became pregnant, and, to avoid the resentment of her father,
she fled to mount Cithæron, where she brought forth twins, Amphion
and Zethus. She exposed them, to prevent discovery, but they were
preserved. After this she fled to Epopeus king of Sicyon, who
married her. Some say that Epopeus carried her away, for which
action Nycteus made war against him, and at his death left his crown
to his brother Lycus, entreating him to continue the war, and punish
the ravisher of his daughter. Lycus obeyed his injunctions, killed
Epopeus, and recovered Antiope, whom he loved and married, though
his niece. His first wife, Dirce, was jealous of his new connection;
she prevailed upon her husband, and Antiope was delivered into her
hands, and confined in a prison, where she was daily tormented.
Antiope, after many years’ imprisonment, obtained means to escape,
and went after her sons, who undertook to avenge her wrongs upon
Lycus and his wife Dirce. They took Thebes, put the king to death,
and tied Dirce to the tail of a wild bull, which dragged her till
she died. Bacchus changed her into a fountain, and deprived Antiope
of the use of her senses. In this forlorn situation she wandered all
over Greece, and at last found relief from Phocus son of Ornytion,
who cured her of her disorder, and married her. Hyginus, fable 7,
says that Antiope was divorced by Lycus, because she had been
ravished by Epopeus, whom he calls Epaphus, and that after her
repudiation she became pregnant by Jupiter. Meanwhile Lycus married
Dirce, who suspected that her husband still kept the company of
Antiope, upon which she imprisoned her. Antiope, however, escaped
from her confinement, and brought forth on mount Cithæron. Some
authors have called her daughter of Asopus, because she was born on
the banks of that river. The _Scholiast_ on _Apollonius_, bk. 1,
li. 735, maintains that there were two persons of the name, one the
daughter of Nycteus, and the other of Asopus and mother of Amphion
and Zethus. _Pausanias_, bk. 2, ch. 6; bk. 9, ch. 17.――_Ovid_, bk. 6,

=Antipăros=, a small island in the Ægean sea, opposite Paros, from
which it is about six miles distant.
=Antipăter=, son of Iolaus, was soldier under king Philip, and raised
to the rank of a general under Alexander the Great. When Alexander
went to invade Asia, he left Antipater supreme governor of Macedonia,
and of all Greece. Antipater exerted himself in the cause of his
king; he made war against Sparta, and was soon after called into
Persia with a reinforcement by Alexander. He has been suspected
of giving poison to Alexander, to raise himself to power. After
Alexander’s death his generals divided the empire among themselves,
and Macedonia was allotted to Antipater. The wars which Greece, and
chiefly Athens, meditated under Alexander’s life, now burst forth
with uncommon fury as soon as the news of his death was received.
The Athenians levied an army of 30,000 men, and equipped 200 ships
against Antipater, who was master of Macedonia. Their expedition was
attended with much success; Antipater was routed in Thessaly, and
even besieged in the town of Lamia. But when Leosthenes the Athenian
general was mortally wounded under the walls of Lamia, the fortune
of the war was changed. Antipater obliged the enemy to raise the
siege, and soon after received a reinforcement from Craterus, from
Asia, with which he conquered the Athenians at Cranon in Thessaly.
After this defeat Antipater and Craterus marched into Bœotia, and
conquered the Ætolians, and granted peace to the Athenians, on the
conditions which Leosthenes had proposed to Antipater when besieged
in Lamia, _i.e._ that he should be absolute master over them.
Besides this, he demanded from their ambassadors, Demades, Phocion,
and Xenocrates, that they should deliver into his hands the orators
Demosthenes and Hyperides, whose eloquence had inflamed the minds
of their countrymen, and had been the primary causes of the war.
The conditions were accepted, a Macedonian garrison was stationed
in Athens, but the inhabitants still were permitted the free use
of their laws and privileges. Antipater and Craterus were the first
who made hostile preparations against Perdiccas; and during that
time Polyperchon was appointed over Macedonia. Polyperchon defeated
the Ætolians, who made an invasion upon Macedonia. Antipater gave
assistance to Eumenes in Asia against Antigonus, according to
_Justin_, bk. 14, ch. 2. At his death, B.C. 319, Antipater appointed
Polyperchon master of all his possessions; and as he was the oldest
of all the generals and successors of Alexander, he recommended that
he might be the supreme ruler in their councils, that everything
might be done according to his judgment. As for his son Cassander,
he left him in a subordinate station under Polyperchon. But
Cassander was of too aspiring a disposition tamely to obey his
father’s injunctions. He recovered Macedonia, and made himself
absolute. _Curtius_, bks. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, & 10.――_Justin_, bks. 11,

succeed to the throne. Alexander, to revenge the death of his mother,
solicited the assistance of Demetrius; but peace was re-established
between the two brothers by the advice of Lysimachus, and soon after
Demetrius killed Antipater, and made himself king of Macedonia, 294
