Helios (the Sun) had a twin sister, Cleopatra Selene (the Moon). He was made king of Armenia and king of king of Media and Parthia at about age six.

| Marcus Antonius and Lucius Antonius, 41 B.C. |  | Lucius Antonius was the younger brother and supporter of Marcus Antonius (Mark Antony). Together with his older brothers, Marcus and Gaius, Lucius spent his early years in bad company. Plutarch writes of the untamed life of the youths and their friends, frequenting gambling houses and drinking too much. In 44 B.C., the year of Julius Caesar's assassination, Lucius was a tribune of the plebs. In 41 B.C., he was consul with Publius Servilius Vatia. With Marcus Antonius' wife, Fulvia, he raised an eight legion army to fight against Octavian. Lucius and Fulvia ended besieged in Perusia in the winter of 41/40 BC, where they were forced to surrender by starvation. Octavian destroyed the city and Fulvia and Lucius were exiled. -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucius_Antonius |
