DEMETRIUS I

This article appears in Volume V07, Page 983 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DEM-DIO
DEMETRIUS I . (d. 150 B.c.), surnamed
Soter
 , was sent to Rome as a
hostage
  during the reign of his father, Seleucus IV. Philopator, but after his father's death in 175 B.C. he escaped from confinement, and established himself on the Syrian
throne
  (162 B.C.) after overthrowing and murdering
King
  Antiochus V. Eupator. He acquired his surname of
Soter
 , or Saviour, from the Babylonians, whom he delivered from the tyranny of the Median satrap, Timarchus, and is famous in Jewish
history
  for his contests with the Maccabees. Hated for his vices, Demetrius
fell
  in
battle
  against the usurper, Alexander Balas, in 150 B.C.
