Antiochus of Athens was an influential Hellenistic astrologer who flourished around 200 CE. There is some disagreement as to when he lived and wrote, some scholars dating him as early as the 1st century BCE[1], while others placing him as late as the end of the 2nd century CE.[2] Since he is referenced by Porphyry (234-ca. 305 CE)[3], he must have lived before the early third century CE. All the writings of Antiochus are now lost. The works ascribed to him are a Thesaurus (Treasuries), an Introduction (Eisagogika) to astrology, and also an astrological calendar, On the risings and settings of the starts in the 12 months of the year. Antiochus is extensively quoted or paraphrased by later writers, particularly the Neoplatonist Porphyry, and Rhetorius of Egypt. There is also a later Byzantine epitome, or summary, of his work. Antiochus was influential upon later astrologers, with parts of his text being used as the basis for Porphyry's third-century Introduction to the Tetrabiblos of Ptolemy, as well as being quoted by Hephaistio of Thebes (380 CE), Anonymous of 379 CE (Treatise on Fixed Stars) and Julius Firmicus Maternus (c. 336 CE). Porphyry relies heavily on Antiochus for definitions of technical terms used by Ptolemy in Tetrabiblos. Antiochus made one of the earliest references to astrological reception, and discussed the twelves houses (topoi] of the astrological chart, heliacal risings and settings, and the Lots.
