Abstract

The Book of Judith has often been read against the backdrop of Judean politics in the second century BCE, with little tangible results beyond the questionable identification of fictional characters with historical figures. But with recent dates for the book converging around 100 BCE, another context comes into view: Judith is a story about war, politics, and community written in a post-Seleucid context. It can therefore elucidate questions we cannot normally hope to answer: How did Seleucid rule shape its subjects’ sense of community and expectations for the future, and how did this play out when the Seleucids were gone?

期刊介绍： Classical Philology has been an internationally respected journal for the study of the life, languages, and thought of the Ancient Greek and Roman world since 1906. CP covers a broad range of topics from a variety of interpretative points of view. CP welcomes both longer articles and short notes or discussions that make a significant contribution to the study of Greek and Roman antiquity. Any field of classical studies may be treated, separately or in relation to other disciplines, ancient or modern. In particular, we invite studies that illuminate aspects of the languages, literatures, history, art, philosophy, social life, and religion of ancient Greece and Rome. Innovative approaches and originality are encouraged as a necessary part of good scholarship.
