But the account of Josephus is very hostile to Cleopatra and reflects in this connection the negative reporting of the memoirs of the Jewish king on the Ptolemaic queen, which found their way via Nicolaus of Damascus into the historic works of Josephus.〔Michael Grant, ''Kleopatra'', p. 223.〕 Therefore Josephus’ unreliable reporting on Cleopatra has to be evaluated carefully. When in 32 BC the preparations for the final war between Mark Antony and Octavian were beginning Herod wanted to come to Antony’s rescue with an army, but was sent back by Antony to fight against Malichus, king of the Nabataeans, instead. According to Josephus Cleopatra is said to have been responsible for this decision of the triumvir,〔Josephus, ''Antiquities of the Jews'' 15, 110; ''The Jewish War'' 1, 365.〕 but the German classical scholar Christoph Schäfer does not believe that this is true.〔Christoph Schäfer, ''Kleopatra'', p. 199-200.〕 After Herod had won the first military encounter against the Nabataeans and threatened to also rout them in a second battle near Canatha, Athenion is supposed to have intervened in favour of the Nabataeans and helped them decisively to defeat the Jewish troops.〔Josephus, ''Antiquities of the Jews'' 15, 112-119; ''The Jewish War'' 1, 366-369.〕 Christoph Schäfer considers Athenion’s allegedly attack on Herod is an invention of Josephus or his sources. He argues that if Athenion really helped the Nabataeans in the battle near Canatha it is not understandable why Cleopatra’s general did not interfere in Herodes’ later very successful battles against the Nabataeans, which took place in summer 31 BC.〔Christoph Schäfer, ''Kleopatra'', p. 200-201.〕 Michael Grant is not so skeptically disposed to the report of Josephus.〔Michael Grant, ''Kleopatra'', p. 271.〕 Nothing is recorded about the further fate of Athenion. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Athenion (general)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
