Title: Tetrarch Post by: CyrilSebastian on November 15, 2023, 07:43:42 PM What is a Tetrarch? Title: Re: Tetrarch Post by: eschator83 on November 17, 2023, 08:47:18 PM According to my NAB Concordance, tetrarch in ancient Greece referred to the ruler of one fourth of a territory, usually under a kingship. In Hellenist and Roman times, it came to refer more generally to a ruler with lower authority than a king. NAB says Herod I the Great was the first tetrarch, but later recognized as a king. His sons were only recognized as tetrarchs, Herod Antipas of Galilee (Mt 14.1), and Philip of Ituraea (Lk 3.1), as well as Lysanias of Abilene (Lk 3.1)
