-==Overview==
-Phasael and [[Herod the Great|Herod]] were the sons of the Idumean [[Antipater]] and the Nabatean [[Cypros]]. The two brothers served under their father, who in 47 BCE had been appointed Procurator of Judea by Julius Caesar. Phasael was made governor of Jerusalem, while Herod was in charge of Galilee.
-Phasael and Herod struggled to survive the political and military intrigues of both Rome and Judea. In 43 BCE their father [[Antipater]], who supported Cassius, was poisoned. Phasael and Herod survived by quickly joining the winner [[Mark Anthony]]. In 40 BCE, Phasael was not as lucky. The Hasmonean [[Antigonus]] allied himself with the Parthians and by deception captured both Phasael and the High Priest [[John Hyrcanus II]]. Hyrcanus was mutilated to make him unfit for the office; Phasael committed suicide. [[Antigonus]] ruled for three years as King and High Priest at [[Jerusalem]], before Herod could regain control of the region and revenge his brother.
