Callixenus of Rhodes
Callixenus of Rhodes was a Hellenistic author from Rhodes.
He was a contemporary of Ptolemy II Philadelphus, Ptolemy III Euergetes and Ptolemy IV Philopator.
He wrote two works, both of which are lost.
Ptolemy III Euergetes
Ptolemy III Euergetes ("Ptolemaios EuergetesPtolemy the Benefactor"; c. 280 – November/December 222 BC) was the third king of the Ptolemaic dynasty in Egypt from 246 to 222 BC.
The Ptolemaic Kingdom reached the height of its power during his reign.
Ptolemy III was the eldest son of Ptolemy II Philadelphus and his first wife Arsinoe I.
When Ptolemy III was young, his mother was disgraced and he was removed from the succession.
He was restored as heir to the throne in the late 250s BC and succeeded his father as king without issue in 246 BC.
On his succession, Ptolemy married Berenice II, reigning queen of Cyrenaica, thereby bringing her territory into the Ptolemaic realm.
In the Third Syrian War (246-241 BC), Ptolemy III invaded the Seleucid empire and won a near total victory, but was forced to abandon the campaign as a result of an uprising in Egypt.
In the aftermath of this rebellion, Ptolemy forged a closer bond with the Egyptian priestly elite, which was codified in the Canopus decree of 238 BC and set a trend for Ptolemaic power in Egypt for the rest of the dynasty.
In the Aegean, Ptolemy suffered a major setback when his fleet was defeated by the Antigonids at the Battle of Andros around 245 BC, but he continued to offer financial support to their opponents in mainland Greece for the rest of his reign.
At his death, Ptolemy was succeeded by his eldest son, Ptolemy IV Philopator.
Irereo
Irereo Fáthach(" the wise"), son of Meilge Molbthach, was, according to medieval Irish legend and historical tradition, a High King of Ireland.
He took power after killing his predecessor, Óengus Ollom, and ruled for seven or ten years, until he was killed in Ulster by Fer Corb, son of Mug Corb.
The" Lebor Gabála Érenn" synchronises his reign with that of Ptolemy III Euergetes of Egypt( 246 – 222 BC).
The chronology of Geoffrey Keating's" Foras Feasa ar Éirinn" dates his reign to 337–330 BC, the" Annals of the Four Masters" to 481–474 BC.
Simmias (explorer)
Simmias was a Greek officer in the service of Ptolemy III Euergetes, king of Egypt, who was sent by him to explore the shores of the Red Sea and the coasts of Ethiopia.
Much of the information recorded by the geographer Agatharchides was derived from his authority.
Antipater Etesias
Antipater Etesias( Greek: Ἀντίπατρο ς Ἐτησίας," Ἀntípatros Ἐtēsías") was the son of Cassander's brother Phillip.
He became king after the death of Ptolemy Keraunos and the ousting of Meleager.
His reign lasted only a period of 45 days.
The Macedonians gave Antipater the name Etesias, because the etesian winds blew during the short time that he was king.
He failed as the leader of the army and was deposed by Sosthenes, possibly an officer in the army of Lysimachus in the 280's or 279 BC.
Despite this he still had a following in some parts of Macedon and was defeated by Antigonus II Gonatas.
After this he fled to Egypt where he is mentioned 20 years later, encouraged by the king Ptolemy III Euergetes as a potential rival claimant to the Macedonian throne.
Óengus Ollom
Óengus Ollom, according to medieval Irish legend and historical tradition, was a High King of Ireland who was the son of Ailill, the son of Labraid Loingsech.
He took power after he killed the previous incumbent, Mug Corb, and ruled for eighteen years, until he was killed by Irereo, son of Meilge Molbthach.
The" Lebor Gabála Érenn" synchronizes his reign with that of Ptolemy III Euergetes of Egypt( 246 – 222 BC).
The chronology of Geoffrey Keating's" Foras Feasa ar Éirinn" dates his reign to 355–337 BC, the" Annals of the Four Masters" to 499–481 BC.
Lysimachus of Egypt
Lysimachus( Greek:; fl. 3rd century BC) was a son of king Ptolemy Philadelphus( 283–246 BC) by Arsinoe, the daughter of Lysimachus, king of Thrace.
He survived both his brother Ptolemy III Euergetes( 246 – 221 BC) and his nephew Magas of Egypt( 241 – 221 BC), but was not much later put to death by Sosibius, the minister and guardian of Ptolemy IV Philopator( 221–204 BC).
Manetho
Manetho(" Manethōngen".: Μανέθωνος) is believed to have been an Egyptian priest from Sebennytos who lived in the Ptolemaic Kingdom in the early third century BC, during the Hellenistic period.
He authored the" AegyptiacaHistory of Egypt") in Greek, a major chronological source for the reigns of the pharaohs of ancient Egypt.
It is unclear if he wrote his work during the reign of Ptolemy I Soter or Ptolemy II Philadelphos, but no later than that of Ptolemy III Euergetes.
Only two full English translations of Manetho's" Aegyptiaca" have been published, by William Gillian Waddell in 1940 and by Gerald P. Verbrugghe and John Moore Wickersham in 2001.
Ptolemy II Philadelphus
Ptolemy II Philadelphus ("Ptolemaios PhiladelphosPtolemy, lover of his sister"; 308/9 – 28 January 246 BCE) was the pharaoh of Ptolemaic Egypt from 283 to 246 BCE.
He was the son of Ptolemy
I Soter, the Macedonian Greek general of Alexander the Great who founded the Ptolemaic Kingdom after the death of Alexander, and queen Berenice I, originally from Macedon in northern Greece.
During Ptolemy II's reign, the material and literary splendour of the Alexandrian court was at its height.
He promoted the Museum and Library of Alexandria.
The magnificent and dissolute, intellectual and artificial atmosphere of the court has been compared with the Palace of Versailles of Louis XIV of France.
In addition to Egypt, Ptolemy's empire encompassed much of the Aegean and Levant.
He pursued an aggressive and expansionist foreign policy with mixed success.
From 275-271 BC, he led the Ptolemaic Kingdom against the rival Seleucid Empire in the First Syrian War and extended Ptolemaic power into Cilicia and Caria, but lost control of Cyrenaica after the defection of his half-brother Magas.
In the Chremonidean War (c. 267-261 BC), Ptolemy confronted Antigonid Macedonia for control of the Aegean and suffered serious setbacks.
This was followed by a Second Syrian War (260-253 BC) against the Seleucid empire, in which many of the gains from the first war were lost.
Berenice II of Egypt
Berenice II Euergetis( 267 or 266 BC – 221 BC) was ruling queen of Cyrenaica from around 250 BC and queen and co-regent of Ptolemaic Egypt from 246 BC to 222 BC as the wife of Ptolemy III Euergetes.
She inherited the rule of Cyrene from her father, Magas in 249 BC.
After a short power struggle with her mother, Berenice married her cousin Ptolemy III, the third ruler of the Ptolemaic kingdom.
This marriage led to the re-incorporation of Cyrenaica into the Ptolemaic empire.
As queen of Egypt, Berenice participated actively in government, was incorporated into the Ptolemaic state cult alongside her husband and worshipped as a goddess in her own right.
She is best- known for an episode of court propaganda, which led to the constellation Coma Berenices being named after her.
Berenice was murdered by the regent Sosibius shortly after the accession of her son Ptolemy IV Philopator in 221 BC.
