According to Eusebius , Laodice I was a daughter of Achaeus , probably the same as the father of Antiochis, who was mother of Attalus I , king of Pergamus. When Ptolemy died in 246 BC , Antiochus took Laodice back; but Antiochus himself died immediately thereafter (she is said to have poisoned him). Berenice's son was less than four years old; Laodice's eldest son rose in rebellion, in the Laodicean War ; Laodice is said to have raised troops in Anatolia for this war. Ptolemy III , brother of Berenice, invaded Syria , and took Antioch , but Laodice and her sons were killed. Laodice's son reigned as Seleucus Callinicus , whom modern historians number Seleucus II . |
