daniel (aramaic and – "dāniyyēl", meaning "god is my judge"; – "daniḗl") is the hero of the biblical book of daniel. a noble jewish youth of jerusalem, he is taken into captivity by nebuchadnezzar of babylon and serves the king and his successors with loyalty and ability until the time of the persian conqueror cyrus, all the while remaining true to the god of israel. the consensus of modern scholars is that daniel never existed, and the book is a cryptic allusion to the reign of the 2nd century bce greek king antiochus iv epiphanes.

laodice appears to have come from obscure origins. laodice could have been a supposed daughter of the seleucid king antiochus iv epiphanes. this is based on the assumption that the sister of alexander balas who appeared in rome with him in 153 bc as a genuine daughter of antiochus iv epiphanes was the laodice who married mithridates iii. antiochus iv epiphanes had two daughters who were laodice vi from this marriage to his sister-wife laodice iv and his other daughter was antiochis the child from his concubine. however this assumption shows that antiochus iv epiphanes may have had another daughter called laodice, however this is not certain. the assumption shows that there could some confusion about the identity of this laodice and laodice vi.
