"Most of our information about Herod the Great derives from the accounts found in Josephus' "Jewish War" and "Jewish Antiquities." Together they constitute quite a unique resource on one of the most famous personalities of ancient history. But whence did Josephus get his information? It is commonly agreed that his primary source was Nicolaus of Damascus, Herod's court historian, though the extent to which Josephus adapted his material remains disputed. This book takes a modern source-critical approach to Josephus' extensive account of Herod's reign to suggest that Josephus did indeed rely heavily on Nicolaus's work, but that previous scholarship was mistaken in seeing Nicolaus as a mere propagandist. Nicolaus may have begun his "Universal History" while Herod was alive, but he finished it after his death. He thus had no reason to write propaganda. This makes his work all the more interesting, for what we have instead is something rather different: a Syrian intellectual claiming a place in Augustan Rome, by telling a story about what the Augustan World looks like on the Eastern periphery. We delineate Nicolaus' approach to various critical topics in Herod's reign in order to reveal the Damascene's perception of client kingship, the impact of empire, and the difficulties involved in ruling Judaea. Most significantly of all, we uncover an Eastern intellectual's view on how to succeed and how to fail in the new Augustan world order"--

La réputation détestable d'Hérode n'est plus à faire : tyran infanticide pour les chrétiens qui l'ont immortalisé dans le massacre des Saints Innocents, roi étranger haï de son peuple d'après la tradition juive, dynaste exotique méprisé par l'opinion selon l'historiographie romaine... L'interférence constante du religieux dans le discours historique a fabriqué une légende noire où se reflète l'ombre monstrueuse des dictateurs modernes. Pourtant, les images stéréotypées qui s'accumulent, cristallisant sur Hérode de multiples représentations collectives, s'imbriquent les unes dans les autres sans jamais convaincre tout à fait. Ce livre entreprend de déconstruire la légende en mobilisant toutes les sources disponibles, en proposant une relecture intertextuelle des documents, en contextualisant les rumeurs dans leur environnement réel et en interprétant les textes à la lumière des données concrètes révélées par l'archéologie. Loin de régner depuis la tanière d'un tyran dans un paysage confus de crime et de châtiment, Hérode se révèle comme un roi qui eut ses partisans à Jérusalem autant que ses adversaires, comme un grand bâtisseur qui modernisa son royaume, comme un pionnier qui fit fleurir le désert de Judée. Son règne inaugura une fusion entre les apports de l'hellénisme, de la Rome impériale et des cultures juive et arabe, dont la continuité est caractéristique du Proche-Orient antique

The present study proposes a challenging new chronological framework for the Herodian age, a critical period in Jewish history. Not only do the rules of Herod the Great and his sons receive altered time settings, but the birth and death of Jesus are also placed several years later than is generally accepted. As a consequence of this the dates of Paul's apostolate are reexamined. Ostensibly narrow in scope, these modificationsentail far-reaching implications for our understanding of the Syro-Palestinian region at the beginning of the present era. Interconnections between numerous events are established and tensions within and between the Herodian and Hasmonean dynasties are laid bare. It is shown that Roman impact on the East was substantial, with a strong Hellenistic influence exerted on local cultures. Several customs of the Jewish and early Christian communities, hitherto unknown, are also brought to light.
