旁白：希律大帝的故事比任何文学改编都更具戏剧性和非凡性，充满了政治阴谋、家庭纠纷、令人惊叹的建筑项目以及暴政。他的统治时期，既有令人眼花缭乱的建筑项目和重大的法律变革，也有社会分裂、政治阴谋和血腥的家庭纠纷。 Adam Marshak：希律的父亲安提帕特是伊杜梅亚的精英，长期掌握权力，并且具有远大的抱负，不局限于家乡。安提帕特是伊杜梅亚的领导人物之一，他的家族也是伊杜梅亚的领导家族之一。但他对自身和四个儿子的抱负并不局限于他的家乡。他看得更远。 Bruce Chilton：伊杜梅亚人民几个世纪以来一直受制于更大的帝国，他们的领土从东方转移到西方，经济不发达，社会制度欠完善，主要依靠口头传统和贸易为生。 Tessa Rajak：约瑟夫斯是了解犹太背景的极佳来源，但他所用的资料来自希律最亲密的顾问之一尼古拉斯·达马斯革，后者在希律死后可能写下了希律统治时期和自己的自传。 旁白：希律大帝的故事比任何文学改编都更具戏剧性和非凡性，充满了政治阴谋、家庭纠纷、令人惊叹的建筑项目以及暴政。他的统治时期，既有令人眼花缭乱的建筑项目和重大的法律变革，也有社会分裂、政治阴谋和血腥的家庭纠纷。 Adam Marshak：希律的父亲安提帕特是伊杜梅亚的精英，长期掌握权力，并且具有远大的抱负，不局限于家乡。安提帕特是伊杜梅亚的领导人物之一，他的家族也是伊杜梅亚的领导家族之一。但他对自身和四个儿子的抱负并不局限于他的家乡。他看得更远。 Bruce Chilton：伊杜梅亚人民几个世纪以来一直受制于更大的帝国，他们的领土从东方转移到西方，经济不发达，社会制度欠完善，主要依靠口头传统和贸易为生。 Tessa Rajak：约瑟夫斯是了解犹太背景的极佳来源，但他所用的资料来自希律最亲密的顾问之一尼古拉斯·达马斯革，后者在希律死后可能写下了希律统治时期和自己的自传。

Herod the Great is often remembered for his cruel actions in the Nativity story, but his true history is filled with political intrigue, architectural achievements, and family drama. This chapter explores the real-life events and character of Herod, contrasting them with his literary portrayal.

Shownotes Transcript

Herod - you may well know the name from the Nativity story. The cruel king who learns of a prophecy proclaiming a Messiah and orders the slaughter of innocent children in response. He’s become synonymous with almost pantomime villainy. At the same time, Herod changed the face of the Middle East in the 1st century BC. His reign featured dazzling architectural ventures and significant legal changes… as well as social division, political intrigue and murderous family drama. So, all in all, who really was this iconic figure of the immediate pre-Christian era?
