Seleucus I biography (515 words)
Seleucus I Nicator (312-c.281 B.C.), the first of the line, was the son of Antiochus, a general of Philip of Macedon.
Seleucus undertook an expedition against the revolted provinces of Parthia and Bactria about 235 B.C., but was routed by Arsaces the Great (see ARSACIDAE), while in the west several provinces were wrested from his brother by Attalus I, the King of Pergamum (229-227).
Seleucus IV Philopator (186-175) was eager to dispossess Eumenes II of the provinces which his father, Attalus, had taken, but fear of the Romans prevented him from carrying out his design.
