random stab in the dark I'd guess Philistia but I'm not really positive and I also am not currently reading the verse, if I get more time later I'll study it to see if I can find out for sure xD

Considering it's a book of prophecy I'd say the Greeks or the Romans

You can't guess based on civilizations that have been in the bible just because they've been in the bible. :P

To my knowledge the greeks never conquered them either. Romans did that could be it.

There seems to be a little conflict about this, but the answer is most likely Rome, because of the conquering order.

4 No earthly Idea, Egypt? maybe? But, I don't think egypt ever attacked judeah....
I think it was probably Egypy, Joash was slain fighting against the Egyptians.

Zechariah 1:18-21 ;)

    *  18.
    * Then I looked up--and there before me were four horns!

    * 19.
    * I asked the angel who was speaking to me, "What are these?" He answered me, "These are the horns that scattered Judah, Israel and Jerusalem."

    * 20.
    * Then the LORD showed me four craftsmen.

    * 21.
    * I asked, "What are these coming to do?" He answered, "These are the horns that scattered Judah so that no one could raise his head, but the craftsmen have come to terrify them and throw down these horns of the nations who lifted up their horns against the land of Judah to scatter its people."

Isn't that apocrophyl or extra-biblical? Or maybe by a Historian?

I think Persia is a good choice.  Egypt also.

Israel was ruled by two kingdoms from the crumbled rule of the Greeks (Alexander the Great) in the inter testamental period.  One being Syria (Antiochus Epiphanes) and the other being Egyptian (Ptolemy if memory serves).

Well, technically, the Babylonians were conquered by the medes/persians.
