Kleopatra Thea initially ruled jointly with her son Antiochos VIII, but their alliance ended in a lethal struggle for sole power. Antiochos VIII later fought his half-brother Antiochos IX in a prolonged dynastic war that divided the realm between rival courts. Their conflict weakened central authority, exhausted resources and hastened the political fragmentation of royal power.
