HEROD ANTIPAS, son of Herod the Great by the Samaritan Malthace, and full brother of Archelaus, received as his share of his father's dominions the provinces of Galilee and Peraea, with the title of tetrarch. He fortified Sepphoris in Galilee and Betharamptha in Peraea, and founded the important town of Tiberias on the west shore of the Sea of Galilee. He reigned 4 B.C.—A.D. 39. In the gospels he is mentioned as Herod, and he it was who was called a "fox" by Christ (Luke xiii. 32). He is erroneously spoken of as a king in Mark vi. 14. It was to him that Jesus was sent by Pilate to be tried. But it is in connection with his wife Herodias that he is best known. He was married first to a daughter of Aretas, the Arabian king; but, making the acquaintance of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip (not the tetrarch), during a visit to Rome, he arranged to marry her. Meantime his Arabian wife discovered the plan and escaped to her father, who completely defeated Herod's army. John the Baptist condemned his marriage with Herodias, and in conse quence was put to death. Encouraged by his wife, Herod jour neyed to Rome to crave a crown from the emperor. Agrippa, his brother-in-law, managed to influence Caligula against him, and he was deprived of his dominions and banished to Lyons, Herodias voluntarily sharing his exile.
