Herod The Great His Life and Times by Stewart Perowne 1991

"Herod the Great was one of the most glittering figures of one of the most glowing periods of human history," the author says. "His life was full of action and incident, of peril and politics, of triumph and tragedy, his character an amazing psychological enigma." 

Digging into a wealth of historical facts, author Stewart Perowne attempts a new assessment of this Arabian prince who is known to most people as the man who massacred the babes of Bethlehem. Still others confuse him with his descendant who judged Jesus and allowed him to be sentenced to death by Pontius Pilate. But here we see Herod as a human being and a monarch. We learn of his enigmatic relationships with his family and famous figures like Marc Antony, Cleopatra, Vipsanius Agrippa, and Augustus.
