Antiochus may refer to:
Antiochus IV Epiphanes (/ænˈtaɪ.əkəs ɛˈpɪfəniːz/; Ancient Greek: Ἀντίοχος Δ΄ ὁ Ἐπιφανής, Antíochos D' ho Epiphanḗs, "God Manifest"; c. 215 BC – 164 BC) was a Hellenistic Greek king of the Seleucid Empire from 175 BC until his death in 164 BC. He was a son of King Antiochus III the Great. His original name was Mithradates (alternative form Mithridates); he assumed the name Antiochus after he ascended the throne.
Notable events during the reign of Antiochus IV include his near-conquest of Egypt, his persecution of the Jews of Judea and Samaria, and the rebellion of the Jewish Maccabees.
Antiochus was the first Seleucid king to use divine epithets on coins, perhaps inspired by the Bactrian Hellenistic kings who had earlier done so, or else building on the ruler cult that his father Antiochus the Great had codified within the Seleucid Empire. These epithets included Θεὸς Ἐπιφανής 'manifest god', and, after his defeat of Egypt, Νικηφόρος 'bringer of victory'. However, Antiochus also tried to interact with common people by appearing in the public bath houses and applying for municipal offices, and his often eccentric behavior and capricious actions led some of his contemporaries to call him Epimanes ("The Mad One"), a word play on his title Epiphanes.
Antiochus III the Great (Greek: Ἀντίoχoς Μέγας; c. 241 – 187 BC, ruled 222–187 BC) was a Hellenistic Greek king and the 6th ruler of the Seleucid Empire. He ruled over the region of Syria and large parts of the rest of western Asia towards the end of the 3rd century BC. Rising to the throne at the age of eighteen in 222 BC, his early campaigns against the Ptolemaic Kingdom were unsuccessful, but in the following years Antiochus gained several military victories and substantially expanded the empire's territory. His traditional designation, the Great, reflects an epithet he assumed. He also assumed the title Basileus Megas (Greek for "Great King"), the traditional title of the Persian kings. A militarily active ruler, Antiochus restored much of the territory of the Seleucid Empire, before suffering a serious setback, towards the end of his reign, in his war against Rome.
Declaring himself the "champion of Greek freedom against Roman domination", Antiochus III waged a four-year war against the Roman Republic in mainland Greece in autumn of 192 BC before being decisively defeated at the Battle of Magnesia. He died three years later on campaign in the east.

Cyrus the Great was the King of Persia and led that empire during the Jewish exile and captivity in Babylon. The Holy Bible is clear that Cyrus, who was not part of God’s people, received a divine inspiration to issue an official decree that would have the temple in Jerusalem rebuilt and that the Jews would be sent back to the Holy Land for the purpose of rebuilding God’s House. Cyrus was praised by God’s People in the Old Testament to the point that the prophet, Isaiah, calls him an anointed of the Lord…a messiah-like character that would prefigure Christ Himself. Now Cyrus the Great was not a man of perfect virtue. He had multiple wives and concubines, and he lived in luxury. He conquered many nations and built a great empire. Yet the good Lord used this flawed man to accomplish His Divi...
Following the death of Alexander, his vast domains were split up among four of his military commanders, and thus commenced the age of Greek influence throughout the Mediterranean World. The eleventh chapter of Daniel, though complicated and challenging to read, provides insight into this era and evidence of God's providence in protecting his people during turbulent times.

Antiochus is arguably the worst villain in ancient Jewish history and we will never forget what he tried to do! Rabbi B presents this new song that will not only teach about what that little rasha (wicked-guy) did what entertain you for years of Chanukah celebrations. Lyrics: Way down in ancient Greece, a long time ago There was a wicked little king who tried to steal our soul He didn't like Shabbos and he outlawed bris The wicked little rasha was Antiochus Chorus: He's gone gone gone, Judah Maccabee gave him the fist He's gone gone gone, knee shaking Antiochus First that king tried to stop us then he made us bow To keep the Jewish months he just didn't allow He grumbled and growled from way down in his throat Ran back to Macedonia, that's all Josephus wrote Chorus Then they brought ...
The Hellenistic Period: From Alexander to Antiochus III
Antiochus I Theos of Commagene was an ancient King from the kingdom of Commagene. He was famous for his generosity, incredible good looks and his sweet singing voice. Is this proof Elvis was descended from an ancient King? Or is this proof that Elvis lived before? Was Elvis a time traveller?
I have seen the blood of my lady
On green mossy rocks beside the sea
In small pools the blood and sand are made one
And she comes home to me...
I have seen the blood of my lady
In small droplets within the forest deep
In tracks of hooves the earth and blood are made one
And she comes home to me
She is everywhere and nowhere
She is everywhere and nowhere
I have seen the blood of my lady
Falling in a fine mist in the heat of the day
It covers the leaves of the mourning tree
And she comes home to me
She is everywhere and nowhere
She is everywhere and nowhere
I have seen the blood of my lady
Timeless and frozen beneath the ice of the lake
In spring the water and blood shall be made one
And she comes home to me
She is everywhere and nowhere
