アンティオコス4世エピファネス
1 and 2 Maccabees, two deuterocanonical books in the Bible, focus on the Jews' revolt against the Seleucid king Antiochus IV Epiphanes and concludes with the defeat of his general, Nicanor, in 161 BCE by Judas Maccabeus, the hero of the work. It included several theological points - prayer for the dead, the last judgment, intercession of saints, and martyrology.
