Athenaeus (Ancient Greek: Ἀθήναιος) of Macedonia was a Seleucid general in the 2nd century BCE.
He served under the king Antiochus VII Sidetes.
During the winter of 130-129 BCE, he gained a reputation for mistreating the local Babylonian villages when he quartered his troops there.
[1] In 129 BCE, Athenaeus accompanied the king Antiochus on his expedition against the Parthians, and he was one of the first to retreat in the Battle of Ecbatana, in which Antiochus lost his life.
