Antiochus X Eusebes (c. 113–88 BC) was a Hellenistic king of Syria. During his lifetime Seleucid Syria was beset by civil wars, interference by Ptolemaic Egypt and incursions by the Parthians. In 95BC, Seleucus VI killed his uncle Antiochus IX, the father of Antiochus X, who took revenge by defeating Seleucus VI and driving him to his death in 94 BC. Antiochus X did not enjoy a stable reign as he had to fight three of Seleucus VI's brothers, Antiochus XI, Philip I and Demetrius III. Antiochus XI defeated AntiochusX and expelled him in 93 BC from Antioch, the capital. A few months later, AntiochusX regained his position and killed Antiochus XI. The civil war continued but its final outcome is uncertain. AntiochusX married his stepmother Cleopatra Selene, and had several children with her, including a future king, Antiochus XIII. He probably died fighting against the Parthians in 88 BC.
