Herophilos Seleukid

Herophilos Seleukid was a claimant to the Seleukid throne during Seleukos II who was murdered by Neoptolemos Seleukid.

Neoptolemos murdered Herophilos to advance his own claim to the throne. He succesfully fended off an attack by Neoptolemos, but was later poisoned at a banquet. A priest was called, but the gods were not with Herophilos that day.
