Laodike (English spelling)
Wife of Antiochus II of Syria. Date of birth and death unknown. Divorced in 253 BC. Antiochus II married Berenice, daughter of Ptolemy II of Egypt, for political reasons, but shortly before his death he appointed Laodice's son Seleucus II as his successor. After the king's death, Ptolemy III tried to support Berenice, starting the Third Syrian War (246-241 BC, traditionally known as the Laodicean War), but Laodice had Berenice and her son killed, and overcame the difficulties of the war.
