* ArtisticLicenseHistory: Chapter 11-12 arguably fall into this according to many biblical scholars. The chronology is generally accurate up until around 167 BCE, at which point it diverges greatly from actual history, both in the death of King Antiochus IV(who actually died in Persia, not in the Levant) and the rise of the Maccabees before the End of Days in chapter 12(which arguably did not occur in the 2nd century BCE). This is generally used to argue that Daniel was written around 167 BCE(and possibly the author died around that time) by many scholars.

The Book of Daniel was actually written in the 2nd century BC, i.e. two centures after Alexander.[[/note]], with verses 7-8 referring to a male goat (symbolizing Greece) and a ram ([[AncientPersia Persia and Media]]): "I saw him[[note]]The male goat[[/note]] reach the ram and rage at him; he struck the ram and broke its two horns, and the ram was powerless to withstand him. He threw him to the ground and trampled him, and there was none to deliver the ram from his power. Then the he-goat grew very great, but at the peak of his power his big horn was broken. In its place, four conspicuous horns sprouted toward the four winds of heaven." In verses 21 and 22: "And the buck, the he-goat—the king of Greece; and the large horn on his forehead, that is the first king. One was broken and four came in its stead—that [means]: four kingdoms will arise out of a nation, but without its power." After his death, the Empire was divided in four amongst his generals into the kingdoms of the Ptolemies (Egypt), Seleucids (Persia and Mesopotamia, later Syria), Attalids (Turkey), and the Antigonids (Macedonia and Syria).
