While many people are familiar with King Herod's famous (or infamous) mention in the Bible, his life touches on many compelling stories of the ancient world--from Antony and Cleopatra to the Olympics, and from aqueducts to executions. From his early life as an Arab who became King of the Jews to the mass executions he ordered at the time of his death, Herod the Great chronicles the fascinating life of this complicated figure.
