      In Adrienne Mayor's book on Mithridates she talks at length how Hannibal spent time in Anatolia and Mithridates would have likely been well educated in Hannibal's exploits and inspired by his defiance of Rome, especially considering Hannibal won a battle using poison snakes and eventually committed suicide with poison.
