Herod the Great's son by Malthace (so ARCHELAUS's full brother), and the 'Herod' of the rest of the Gospel story once the family moves north. Passed over for their father's title of king, he was made TETRARCH of Galilee and Perea — one of the few Herodian sons to keep his post for his whole reign, ruling some forty-three years until Rome finally exiled him in AD 39, for petitioning (on his wife's urging) for the royal title his nephew Agrippa I had just been given. ⚠ Jesus calls him 'that fox' (Luke 13:32, not yet on these pages) and largely avoids his territory; Antipas, for his part, seems to have wanted only to SEE him (Luke 23:8, not yet on these pages) and gets his wish at the trial, where Jesus says nothing to him at all. His marriage to HERODIAS — his own half-brother's wife, and also his niece — is the reason John the Baptist is imprisoned to begin with; a war with his abandoned first wife's father, the Nabatean king Aretas IV, followed the divorce, which Josephus records some contemporaries read as God's judgment for John's death.
