(241-227 BC)

Antiochus Hierax, younger son of Antiochus II and Laodice, is the brother of Seleucus II. With the help of his mother, Antiochus managed to seize Asia from 241 BC but in 238, he was beaten by Attalus I of Pergamon and found himself in a defensive situation. Ten years later, he attacked his brother's domains, but was defeated. He died the following year during a brawl between him and a group of Gallic looters..
