| Title: Josephus, Alexander's Visit to Jerusalem and Modern Historiography Secondary Title: Collected Papers: Josephus Flavius: Historian of Eretz-Israel in the Hellenistic-Roman Period Pages: 29-55 Type: Book Section Year: 1982 Abstract: "Josephus' account of Alexander the Great's visit to Jerusalem (Ant. 11:329-339) is historically plausible. For this episode Josephus probably used his non-Thucydidean Jewish oral-historical tradition. The three concessions made by Alexander to the Jews of Jerusalem (Ant. 11:338) confirm this suggestion".
