Well the main sources on Antiochus IV are the Maccebees and Josephos. Except for that we have a little titbit of information from Appian and Livius. The latter says some said the man was insane, though Livius himself says that he just didn't know what he wanted. But he was generous in his donations to cities and in cultivating the gods. So he was rather a prime example of the give and grant model, and did only what he thought was good and what was customary.

I have no idea what you are trying to say, but it looks like flamebait.

As the original question has been answered, I am going to go ahead and close this thread.
