Centering on the first extant martyr story (2 Maccabees 7), this
study explores the "autonomous value" of martyrdom. The story of a
mother and her seven sons who die under the torture of the Greek
king Antiochus displaces the long-problematic Temple sacrificial
cult with new cultic practices, and presents a new family romance
that encodes unconscious fantasies of child-bearing fathers and
eternal mergers with mothers. This study places the martyr story in
the historical context of the Hasmonean struggle for legitimacy in
the face of Jewish civil wars, and uses psychoanalytic theories to
analyze the unconscious meaning of the martyr-family story.
