But Stratonice is the wife of Antiochus I Soter also

I didn't know that, but it would make sense seeing as how she was so young when she married old man Seleucus.

Ah, I remember the pathetic lovestory which allegedly happened between themPoor Antiochos falls in love with his step-mom and Seleukos in all his kindness gives Stratonike to him.
"Pompeius, after having finished the war against Mithridates, when he went to call at the house of Poseidonios, the famous teacher of philosophy, forbade the lictor to knock at the door, as was the usual custom, and he, to whom both the eastern and the western world had yielded submission, ordered the fasces to be lowered before the door of science."
Pliny the Elder, Naturalis Historia, 7, 112

Re: Name that historical figure!
I wouldn't have been able to pick any of the recent historical figures I've seen posted here, but I take the opportunity of Lord Oda's invitation and the hiatus since to jump in with a post.
The man please.
