"

King Mithridates I of Parthia took advantage of Antiochus' western problems and attacked from the east, seizing the city of Herat in 167 BC and disrupting the direct trade route to India, effectively splitting the Greek world in two.[citation needed] Antiochus recognized the potential danger in the east but was unwilling to give up control of Judea. He sent a commander named Lysias to deal with the Maccabees, while Antiochus himself led the main Seleucid army against the Parthians. Antiochus had initial success in his eastern campaign, capturing king Artaxias[1] and reconquering the Kingdom of Armenia.[2] His campaign went through Ecbatana and he and his forces attacked Persepolis but were driven off by the populace.[3] On his return home, he died at Isfahan in 164 BC.[4]
