By Jesse Russell

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Antiochus III the Great (Greek: Ἀντίoχoς Μέγας; ca. 241-187 BC, ruled 222-187 BC) Seleucid Greek king who became the 6th ruler of the Seleucid Empire as a youth of about eighteen in 223 BC. Antiochus was an ambitious ruler who ruled over Greater Syria and western Asia towards the end of the 3rd century BC. Although his early attempts in war against the Ptolemaic Kingdom were unsuccessful, in the following years of conquest Antiochus proved himself the most successful Seleucid King after Seleucus I. His traditional designation, the Great, reflects an epithet he briefly assumed. Antiochus also assumed the title "Basileus Megas" (which is Greek for "Great King"), the traditional title of the Persian kings.
