Hermeias
Hermeias or Hermias( Greek: Ἑρμείας or Ἑρμίας; died 220 BC) was a Carian by birth, who had raised himself to be the favourite and chief minister of Seleucus III Ceraunus( 225 – 223 BC), and was left at the head of affairs in Syria by that monarch when he set out on the expedition across the Taurus Mountains, in the course of which Seleucus met with his death, 223 BC.
Alexander (grandson of Seleucus I Nicator)
Alexander( flourished 3rd century BC) was a Greek nobleman of Anatolia and served as a Seleucid official.
Alexander was the first son born to Achaeus by an unnamed Greek mother.
His father Achaeus was a wealthy nobleman who owned estates in Anatolia.
His family had power in Anatolia with strong royal connections.
Alexander had three siblings, two sisters, Antiochis and Laodice I, and a brother Andromachus.
His father Achaeus was the second son of King Seleucus I Nicator and his first wife Apama I.
According to surviving inscriptions, Alexander was already active and held high positions under his paternal uncle Antiochus I Soter.
A surviving decree at Bargylia honoring a judge from Teos mentions Alexander as having been ‘ left in charge ’ by Antiochus I Soter, meaning that Alexander was some sort of governor in the Caria region.
The surviving decree at Bargylia dates from 270 – 261 BC.
During the reign of his paternal cousin and brother- in- law Antiochus II
Theos, Alexander was a very powerful figure in Anatolia.
Between 261–244 BC in Magnesia ad Sipylum, he is noted in writing a letter about land allotments granted to soldiers and he was honored at Tralles.
In the year 240 BC Alexander was still loyal to his nephew Seleucus II Callinicus, as he was the governor of Lydia, based at Sardis.
In the civil war between Seleucus II Callinicus and his brother Antiochus Hierax, Alexander supported his second nephew, and held Sardis against attacks by Seleucus II.
After the end of the civil war, nothing is known on Alexander.
His namesake was his great- nephew Seleucus III Ceraunus, whose name was Alexander until he succeeded his father Seleucus II Callinicus as King in 225 BC.
Laodice II
Laodice II( lived in the 3rd century BC), was the wife of Seleucus II Callinicus.
According to the express statement of Polybius, she was the sister of Andromachus.
Laodice II bore Seleucus II Seleucus III Ceraunus and Antiochus III the Great.
Apaturius
Apaturius of Alabanda was a scene-painter of ancient Greece, whose mode of painting the scene of the little theatre at Tralles is described by Vitruvius, with the criticism made upon it by Licinius.
A different, unrelated Apaturius was a Gaul who, with Nicanor of Syria, assassinated Seleucus III Ceraunus in the 3rd century BCE.
Seleucus II Callinicus
Seleucus II Callinicus Pogon ("Selefkos Defteros Kallinikos, o PogonKallinikos" means "gloriously triumphantPogon" means "the Beard"; July/August 265 BC – December 225 BC), was a ruler of the Hellenistic Seleucid Empire, who reigned from 246 BC to 225 BC.
Faced with multiple enemies on various fronts, and not always successful militarily, his reign was a time of great turmoil and fragmentation for the Seleucid empire, before its eventual restoration under his second son and eventual successor, Antiochus III.
Nicanor of Syria
Nicanor(" Nīkā́nōr") was a Syrian Greek who lived in the 3rd century BCE under Seleucid Empire.
Together with a Gaul named Apaturius, he assassinated Seleucus III Ceraunus during his expedition into Asia against Attalus I in 222 BCE.
He was immediately seized and executed by order of the general Achaeus.
Seleucus III Ceraunus
Seleucus III Soter, called Seleucus Ceraunus
(Greek: ; c. 243 BC – April/June 223 BC, ruled December 225 – April/June 223 BC), was a ruler of the Hellenistic Seleucid Kingdom, the eldest son of Seleucus II Callinicus and Laodice II.
Andromachus (son of Achaeus)
Andromachus( lived 3rd century BC) was an Anatolian nobleman of Greek Macedonian and Persian descent.
Andromachus was the son of Achaeus who was a wealthy nobleman who owned estates in Anatolia.
His family was influential in Anatolia and had strong royal connections.
Andromachus had three siblings; one brother: Alexander and two sisters: Antiochis and Laodice I. Andromachus was the father of Achaeus and his sister Laodice II was married to the Seleucid King Seleucus II Callinicus.
As a result of this marriage, the future Seleucid kings, Seleucus III Ceraunus and Antiochus III the Great, were his nephews.
During the course of a war between the Seleucids and the Ptolemies, the Egyptian king Ptolemy III Euergetes took Andromachus prisoner; and when Ptolemy III died in 221 BC, Andromachus was still a prisoner in Egypt.
Since Achaeus was anxious to secure his father's release, Ptolemy IV of Egypt ’s chief advisor, Sosibius, regarded the captive nobleman as a very valuable piece to play in the political game.
He had, perhaps, before the revolt of Achaeus, tried to strike a bargain with him —the release of Andromachus as the price for Achaeus deserting the Seleucid king.
When Achaeus did revolt, pushed by other circumstances, and without having made any compact with Egypt, there was even less reason to let Andromachus go.
Sosibius was very unwilling to part with such a valuable individual; but around 220 BC the Rhodians intervened on behalf of Achaeus, changing the situation radically.
The Rhodians' decision did not spring from altruism.
It was a move with which they hoped to defeat the city- state of Byzantium, with which they were at war.
Byzantium hoped to gain Achaeus' support against Rhodes and its allies.
By obtaining Andromachus' release the Rhodians planned to foil the Byzantine plan and obtain Achaeus' support.
They therefore sent an embassy to Ptolemy IV asking him to deliver Andromachus to them.
While Ptolemy at first refused to free Andromachus, with further consideration, being anxious to please the Rhodians, the king yielded to their request and handed over Andromachus to them.
This was done, and father and son were reunited.
After these events, Andromachus disappears from history.
