Antíoco I, grande como Ciro e Dario, ou a realeza babilônica revisitada: uma abordagem intercultural de três textos régios antigos

This article aims at identifying shared elements in the Cyrus cylinder, the Behistun inscription and the Borsippa cylinder from the Ezida Temple, also called “Antiochus cylinder”, as a means to understand Achaemenid and Seleucid manipulation of Babylonian monarchical tradition. Such manipulation would reinforce the main legitimizing strategies by Darius (the first Great King to adopt Zoroastrian faith) and Antiochus I, whose power owed both to his family ties to Seleucus I and, simultaneously, in the active participation in Babylonian political and religious practices related to divinization of kingship.
