Herod is a Greek name. Why did so many Levantines have Greek names?

Kind of seems like the whole region was thoroughly Hellenized. Heck, people now know that even judaism was Greek and that's a popular theory now.

Alexander the Great.

This is a history board, why do t you know basic things like Hellenization?

>I agree with this view. The great English classicist Dame Mary Beard said in her book SPQR, "Roman history is always being rewritten, and always has been; in some ways we know more about ancient Rome than the Romans themselves did

lmao
how ridiculously conceited and anachronistic

My rhetoric should have been palpable. But, we can go back further than him. Much further.

Kike or not Herod was a good Roman. Nothing wrong with this.

How? We know of Vespasian's parents, where exactly does one of Herod's children fit into this?

Literally a retarded cat lady that can barely read Latin. Fucking terrible in every way. Check out Adrian Godlsworthy, if you need a good English classicist. He has a YT channel of the same name, and does vids once a week or so.

No he wasn't, but it would be 100x BASED if he were. Imagine being a descendent of King Mega Jew only to be the one to effortlessly BTFO of them, their temple and their stolen "homeland" once and for all. Kinda poetic. Down right karmic.

He may be the only Emperor to be asked to take office, to do so, give it up while peacefully handing it over to his son and successor while going on to live a happy life and dying of old age. If that's not a sign that the Gods have favored, you then nothing could be. Not too bad for an old mule breeder.
