This landmark contribution to ongoing debates about perceptions of
the Jews in antiquity examines the attitudes of Greek writers of
the Hellenistic period toward the Jewish people. Among the leading
Greek intellectuals who devoted special attention to the Jews were
Theophrastus (the successor of Aristotle), Hecataeus of Abdera (the
father of "scientific" ethnography), and Apollonius Molon (probably
the greatest rhetorician of the Hellenistic world). Bezalel
Bar-Kochva examines the references of these writers and others to
the Jews in light of their literary output and personal background;
their religious, social, and political views; their literary and
stylistic methods; ethnographic stereotypes current at the time;
and, more.
