Antiochus IX Eusebes
, ruler of the
Greek
Seleucid kingdom
, was the son of

Parthia
and his uncle
Demetrius II Nicator's
return to power (129 BC), his mother sent him to
Cyzicus

Seleucid
throne from half-brother/cousin
Antiochus VIII Grypus
, with whom he eventually divided Syria. He was killed in battle by the son of Grypus,
