Herod the Great: The Bible's Greatest Villain

Herod the Great is notorious for the massacre of the Innocents, a biblical story where he ordered the killing of male babies to eliminate Jesus. His reputation as a tyrant overshadows his complex role as a visionary leader and skilled politician who ruled Judea for 37 years. Herod's reign is also remembered for grand construction projects, including the rebuilding of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and the creation of the port city of Caesarea. These projects showcased his political acumen and desire to leave a lasting legacy. While Herod's violence and ruthlessness are well-documented, modern scholars question the historiography of the massacre of the Innocents. It's suggested that Herod’s final years of bloodshed may have been exacerbated by his physical ailments rather than deliberate cruelty.
