Biografía [editar]

Hijo de Ptolomeo III de Egipto y Berenice III de Cirene. Tenía un hermano llamado Magas a quien asesinó junto con sus partidarios para hacerse más fácilmente con el trono. Se casó con su hermana Arsínoe III.

Durante su reinado se vivieron intrigas dinásticas que influyeron de manera negativa en el gobierno del reino. Obtuvo un gran éxito cuando derrotó al formidable ejército de Antíoco III Megas, rey de la dinastía Seléucida.

Sin embargo en estos años perdieron la Tebaida (región del Alto Egipto), en donde un rey rebelde llamado Horunnefer tomó el control de parte del país (206-200 a. C.); desde entonces la Tebaida fue gobernada por reyes de origen nubio.

Ptolomeo IV murió inesperadamente, y este hecho fue ocultado durante bastante tiempo por sus ministros. Le sucedió su hijo Ptolomeo V Epífanes.

Ptolemy IV Philopator (Greek: Πτολεμαῖος Φιλοπάτωρ, Ptolemaĩos Philopátōr, reigned 221-205 BC), son of Ptolemy III and Berenice II of Egypt was the fourth Pharaoh of the Ptolemaic Egypt. Under the reign of Ptolemy IV, the decline of the Ptolemaic kingdom began.

His reign was inaugurated by the murder of his mother, and he was always under the dominion of favourites, male and female, who indulged his vices and conducted the government as they pleased. Self-interest led his ministers to make serious preparations to meet the attacks of Antiochus III the Great on Coele-Syria including Judea, and the great Egyptian victory of Raphia (217), where Ptolemy himself was present, secured the northern borders of the kingdom for the remainder of his reign.

The arming of Egyptians in this campaign had a disturbing effect upon the native population of Egypt, leading to the secession of Upper Egypt under pharaohs Harmachis (also known as Hugronaphor) and Ankmachis (also known as Chaonnophris), thus creating a kingdom that occupied much of the country and lasted nearly twenty years.

Philopator was devoted to orgiastic forms of religion and literary dilettantism. He built a temple to Homer and composed a tragedy, to which his favourite Agathocles added a commentary. He married (about 220 BC) his sister Arsinoë III, but continued to be ruled by his mistress Agathoclea, sister of Agathocles.

Ptolemy is said to have built a giant ship known as the tessarakonteres ("forty"), a huge type of galley. The forty of its name may refer to its number of banks of oars. The only recorded instance of this type of vessel, in fact, is this showpiece galley built for Ptolemy IV, described by Callixenus of Rhodes, writing in the 3rd century BCE, and by Athenaeus in the 2nd century AD. Plutarch also mentions that Ptolemy Philopater owned this immense vessel in his Life of Demetrios. The current theory is that Ptolemy's ship was an oversize catamaran galley, measuring 128 m 420 ft.

Ptolemy IV is a major protagonist of the apocryphal 3 Maccabees, which describes purported events following the Battle of Raphia, in both Jerusalem and Alexandria.
