| Title: Josephus' Portrait of Deborah Secondary Title: Hellenica et Judaica. Hommage à Valentin Nikiprowetzky Pages: 115-128 Type: Book Section Year: 1986 Abstract: "In the section on Josephus L. H. Feldman (Josephus' Portrait of Deborah, pp. 115-128) points out that Josephus, in his misogyny, both reduced the length of the episode and the importance of Deborah. He has avoided the miraculous and the grotesque so prominent in rabbinic literature and in Pseudo-Philo, but he has stressed the importance of the role of divine help in order to depreciate still further the stature of Deborah. By omitting the Song of Deborah, he has reduced her to a prosaic figure". Keywords: Antiquities |
