MENELAUS
It is thought that this conscienceless, conniving high priest was the leader of the Jewish supporters of the Seleucid kings during the reign of Antiochus IV Epiphanes. Second Maccabees 4:23-50 relates the story of how Menelaus outbid Jason for the priesthood by paying Antiochus 300 talents of silver above Jason’s price.
