Description

Explore the complex legacy of one of history's most controversial figures. This volume, King Herod: A Persecuted Persecutor, provides a systematic historical and psychological examination of the man known both as a great builder and a bloodthirsty tyrant. Part of the Studia Judaica series (volume 36), this work moves beyond traditional accounts to offer a new, comprehensive study of Herod's personality. By applying the insights of psychohistory and psychobiography, the text attempts to unravel the contradictions of his life and deeds. The study examines his mental state through a modern lens, noting characteristics consistent with a DSM-IV diagnosis of Paranoid Personality Disorder. Readers will find a deep analysis of how an ambiguous identity and specific psychological pressures shaped his reign. This scholarly work is an essential resource for those interested in ancient history, psychology, and the study of complex leadership figures.
