When was a decree issued by the Greeks that forbade speaking God's name?

score:0

I don't know the exact year, but it was some year between 175 BC (the ascension of Antiochius IV) to the Selucid throne, and 168 BC, when Antiochus installed an image of the Greek god Zeus in the holy temple.

The result was the Maccabean Revolt that started in 167 BC. By 160 BC, it had become successful enough to allow the establishment of the Hasmonean dynasty.
