Alexander the Great of Macedon led campaigns during the Hellenistic period that saw the spread of the culture of the Greek people. He admired the western culture a lot and he wanted it to be adopted by his country (Wilcken, 1999).
On the other hand, Antiochus adopted the Greek culture for personal gains. He benefited a lot from the sacrifices that were offered to the Greek gods, which included in the temple of Zeus at Athens. He started to compare himself with Zeus so that he may have absolute powers.
