The '''Third Syrian War''' was fought between [[Ptolemy III]] and [[Seleucus II]] from 246 to 241 B.C. Ptolemy caught the Seleucid Empire in a time of weakness and was able to conquer [[Syria]] and much of southern [[Asia Minor]] despite being defeated by [[Antigonus]], still an ally of the Seleucids, in 245 B.C. in the naval [[Battle of Andros]].
