Durch den erfolgreichen Feldzug bis an die Grenzen Indiens verdiente sich Antiochos III. den Beinamen „der Große“. Als er bei Magnesia den Römern unterlag, wurde er deswegen zum Gespött der Sieger. Jedoch konstruierten Autoren schon zuvor das Bild eines emotional gesteuerten, den Anfordernissen nicht gewachsenen Königs. Eine Analyse der Berichte über die Trauer um seinen Sohn und die Hochzeit mit einer jungen Bürgertochter in Chalkis entlarven dieses Bild als bewusste Herabsetzung des Königs. Darüber hinaus werden Gedanken zum Verhältnis Antiochos’ zu Babylon und der Bedeutung Seleukos’ I. und Antiochos’ I. als Vorbilder für seine Herrschaft formuliert. By virtue of his successful campaign which led him to the borders of India, Antiochus III earned the title “the Great”. When he was defeated by the Romans in the battle of Magnesia, the victorious party mocked him for carrying this title. However, even before there were signs of denigration by ancient authors. He is portrayed as an emotional king who is unable to properly fulfill his royal duties. This article tries to prove that neither the mourning of his son Antiochus nor the wedding of a young girl from Chalcis are adequately described in the ancient sources, which are hampered by hindsight bias. Beyond that, there are some remarks on Antiochus’ behavior towards Babylon and the importance of Seleucus I and Antiochus I as a role model for his rule
