Antiochus VI Dionysus (ca. 148–142 bc). Son of Alexander Balas and Cleopatra Thea; successor of Demetrius II to the Seleucid throne. Diodotus Tryphon, general of Alexander Balas, put forth the young Antiochus as a claimant to the Seleucid throne when opponent Demetrius was still king. When the unpopular Demetrius II broke promises to the Jews, prominent Jewish leaders helped Tryphon set the boy up as king. Diodotus Tryphon later killed Antiochus VI and made himself king.
