"The lively, serious, and informed discussions in this book provide impressive examples of the insights achieved when the Jewish evidence of the late Second Temple period is shown both to illuminate and to reflect the wider history of the Hellenistic world."--Martin Goodman, author of "Rome and Jerusalem: The Clash of Ancient Civilizations" "What sets this book apart is that it bears the fruits of a truly interdisciplinary investigation into the topic.

"The lively, serious, and informed discussions in this book provide impressive examples of the insights achieved when the Jewish evidence of the late Second Temple period is shown both to illuminate and to reflect the wider history of the Hellenistic world."--Martin Goodman, author of "Rome and Jerusalem: The Clash of Ancient Civilizations" "What sets this book apart is that it bears the fruits of a truly interdisciplinary investigation into the topic. The result sheds light not just on Hellenistic kings and how they were viewed by their Jewish subjects, but also on the early Greek Bible and, more generally, the meeting of, and cross-fertilization between, Jewish and Graeco-Roman culture that occurred in the centuries following Alexander's conquest."--Guido Schepens, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven "This wonderful collection of essays illuminates many facets of kingship in the Hellenistic world. The essays range over Hellenistic philosophy, Jewish fiction, the nuances of translation in the Greek Bible and archaeological evidence. Richly informative, and enjoyable reading besides!"--John J. Collins, author of "Jewish Cult and Hellenistic Culture" "This wide-ranging collection of essays brings together the too often separate perspectives of classical scholarship and Jewish studies. "Jewish Perspectives on Hellenistic Rulers" will be an indispensable reference work for anyone working on virtually any aspect of Hellenistic Jewish studies."--Sara Raup Johnson, author of "Historical Fictions and Hellenistic Jewish Identity: Third Maccabees in its Cultural Context" "This thought-provoking book presents a series of superb studies on Jewish-Greek views of hellenistic monarchy that together are suggestive of the rich interplay between Hellenistic Jewish intellectual traditions and their deep connections to the greater world of the Hellenistic monarchies. The volume will surely stimulate much more work on the subject, and will be required reading for all those whose interests touch on the subject of Hellenistic Judaism and Hellenistic history and culture more broadly."--J.G. Manning, author of "Land and Power in Hellenistic Egypt: The Structure of Land Tenure"
