Did you know that the Antiochus who antagonized the Maccabees was nicknamed “the Mad”? Or that he spent time as a Roman prisoner before ruling ancient Syria?
Do you know why some people say that the Maccabees fought against the Syrians, while other people call them the Greeks?
In honor of Hanukkah, the page on Antiochus has been added to the sneak-peek look at The Unabridged Bible. Enjoy!
