A few posts have mentioned how Herod the Great was trying to rid
himself of the Hasmonaean heirs, but he in fact was a Hasmonaean
cousin himself, which is clearly demonstrated for those who have read
Josephus. His line is as follow, and his Armenian descendants included
for someone who mentioned it in a post.
Mattathias ben Johanan, Priest (ca 225 BC – 165 BC), he revolted after
the Seleucid Emperor Antiochus IV Epiphanies forbade the Jewish
religion and said that altars for the Greek gods should be set up
instead, he killed a royal officer and a Jew who got in his way of
revolting and he and his followers fled to the mountains where they
went on to lead a rebellion which they later won, he soon died
afterward being of old age and his son Judas Maccabee took control of
the revolt

And it's completely fallacious that this person was a descendent of the
Maccabeans.

Let me help you out here with your source quotation.
Josephus, "Antiquities of the Jews" Book XIV
Chapter 1
"3. But there was a certain friend of Hyrcanus, an Idumean, called Antipater,
who was very rich, and in his nature an active and a seditious man; who was
at enmity with Aristobulus, and had differences with him on account of his
good-will to Hyrcanus. It is true that Nicolatls of Damascus says, that Antipater
was of the stock of the principal Jews who came out of Babylon into Judea; but
that assertion of his was to gratify Herod, who was his son...."
Perhaps this will kill this claim. Not only does Josephus say Herod was not
a Hasmonaean, but he says he wasn't even a Jew of any stripe.
