ODENAKE. Odaenathus Septimus, fl. third century A.D., king of Palmyra, was Zenobia's husband. From A.D. 262-267 he led the Roman army in the east and was rewarded with the title Imperator. He was murdered with his eldest son in 267, and some ancient historians blame Zenobia for his death (Trebellius Pollio, Tyranni Triginta XXX). Boccaccio says that Odaenathus and his son were killed by Meronius, a maternal cousin (De claris mulieribus XCVIII).

Cenobia marries Odenake, and they live in joy and happiness, MkT 2271-2278. Cenobia forces Odenake to be celibate during her pregnancies, MkT 2285-2294. They have two sons, and together Cenobia and Odenake reign over many kingdoms in the east, MkT 2295-2316. Cenobia reigns alone after Odenake's death, MkT 2327-2330. [Aurelian: Cenobia: Hermanno: Thymalao]
