ANTIOCHUS THE HAWK

Antiochus who was nicknamed the Hawk was warring against his brother Seleucus for the kingdom. ¹ But when Seleucus, vanquished by the Galatians, could nowhere be found, but, to all appearances, had [p. 83] been cut down in battle, Antiochus laid aside his purple and assumed a dark robe. But after a little time, learning that his brother was safe and sound, he offered sacrifices to the gods to celebrate the good tidings, and made the people in the cities under him to wear garlands. ²
