Who was a Jewish priest who led the guerrilla fight against seleuccid rule?

The Jewish priest who led the guerrilla fight against Seleucid rule was Mattathias, a key figure in the Maccabean Revolt. His revolt began in 167 BCE in response to the oppressive policies of the Seleucid king Antiochus IV, particularly the persecution of Jewish religious practices. Mattathias and his sons, especially Judah Maccabee, played crucial roles in the struggle for Jewish independence, which ultimately led to the rededication of the Second Temple and the establishment of the Hasmonean dynasty.
