Erasistratus (c. 304 – c. 250 BC), Greek anatomist and royal physician under Seleucus I Nicator of Syria, realised that the illness of Antiochus was lovesickness for his stepmother Stratonice (c. 320 BC - 254 BC), by observing that Antiochus's pulse rate rises when ever he sees her. Seleucus I Nicator (c. 358 – 281 BC) gave up his young wife to save his son and in 294 BC Antiochus married his stepmother.
