King of the Syrians

==King of the Syrians==
The designation King of the Syrians is an official title held (and created) by Demetrius of the Antigonid Empire on the suggestion of his sister Antigone. It is a shortened form of the formal title King of the Syrians and the Greeks of Asia and may be considered the correct designation of the monarch of the Antigonid Empire. As it was introduced after his death Antigonus is not generally recognised as King of the Syrians, but the title is explicitly hereditary and linked with the crown.
King of the Syrians is Demetrius's preferred designation, over the unofficial (but commonly used) Antigonid King or Antigonid Emperor.
