Comments

Antiochos VIII Grypos (125-96 B.C.), second son of Demetrios II Nikator and Cleopatra Thea. Place on the throne in 125 B.C. by his mother, who put to death his eldest brother Seleukos V in order to have the power in her own hands. He poisoned his mother in 120 B.C. and carried on war for some years with his brother Antiochos IX Kyzikenos. In 112 B.C. the two brothers agreed to share the kingdom between them: Antiochos IX Kyzikenos ruling Coele and Phoenicia, Antiochos VIII Grypos all the other provinces. Grypos was assassinated in 96 B.C..
