How does malthace's opinion about the Roman's occupation compare to Joel's and Daniel's view in the bronze bow?
Malthace in "The Bronze Bow" has a more sympathetic view towards the Roman occupation compared to Joel and Daniel, who are deeply opposed to Roman rule. Malthace sees potential for change through peaceful means and understanding, while Joel and Daniel believe in armed resistance and rebellion against the Romans. Ultimately, their differing views lead to conflicts and challenges in the story.

How old is Thacia in The Bronze Bow?
Malthace (Thacia) is like a sister to Daniel, as is Joel like a brother. This is true in the first part of the book but as the book continues he starts to have feelings for her and she for him. In the end they end up getting engaged I think. At least that is what it sounds like from the ending.

Where did Herod the great rule over?
Herod the Great Hordos (Hebrew: הוֹרְדוֹס, hoɾðos; Greek: ἡρῴdης, hērōdēs; trad. English: Herod), also known as Herod I or Herod the Great, was a Roman client-king of Judaea (c. 74 BC – c. 4 in Jerusalem). The details of his biography can best be gleaned from the works of the 1st century AD Jewish historian Josephus. To many people, Herod is best known for his alleged role in the events known as the Massacre of the Innocents, an account of which is given in chapter 2 of the Gospel according to Matthew . Biography Herod the Great arose from a wealthy, influential Idumaean family. The Idumaeans, successors to the Edomites of the Hebrew Bible, settled in Idumea, formerly known as Edom, in southern Judea. When the Maccabean John Hyrcanus conquered Idumea in 130–140 BC, he required all Idumaeans to obey Jewish law or to leave; most Idumaeans thus converted to Judaism. King Herod identified himself as Jewish and was considered as such by his contemperies [1], although according to Jewish law, he would not be considered as such.[2] This religious self-identification notwithstanding, the Herodians were to a large extent Hellenistic in culture, which would have earned them the antipathy of observant Jews.[3] He was the second son of Antipater the Idumaean, the Idumeans having been just converted to Judaism by John Hyrcanus, and was founder of the Herodian Dynasty. Herod's mother was Cypros, a princess from Petra in Nabatea (now part of Jordan). The family rubbed shoulders with the great in Rome, such as Pompey, Cassius, and in 47 BC his father was appointed Procurator over Judea, who then appointed his son governor of Galilee at the age of 25. After his father was poisoned in 43 BC, allegedly by a tax-collector, Herod had the murderer executed. After returning from a campaign, he was offered the betrothal to the teenage princess Mariamne (sometimes spelled Mariamme) from the former Hasmonean dynasty who were the titular rulers of Judaea. Although he was legally permitted to have more than one wife, he banished his first wife Doris and her 3-year-old son, also named Antipater, and married Mariamne (known as Mariamne I). In 40 BC Antigonos and the Parthians invaded Judea, and Herod fled Jerusalem to Rome for the first time. There he was elected "King of the Jews" by the Roman Senate[4]. However Herod did not fully conquer Judea until 37 BC. He ruled for 34 years. 30s BC The taking of Jerusalem by Herod the Great, 36 BC, by Jean Fouquet39 BC–37 BC War against Antigonos. After the conquest of Jerusalem and victory over Antigonos, Mark Antony executes Antigonos. 36 BC Herod makes his 17-year-old brother-in-law Aristobulus III of Judea high priest, fearing that the Jews would appoint Aristobulus "king of the Jews" in his place. 35 BC Aristobulus drowns at a party. Historians claim there is insufficient evidence against Herod for his death. 32 BC Start of the war against Nabatea, with victory one year later. 31 BC strong earthquake in Judea. Octavian defeats Mark Antony, so Herod switches allegiance to Octavian, later Augustus. 30 BC Herod was then shown great favour by Octavian who at Rhodes confirms him as King of Judaea. 20s BC 29 BC Josephus writes that Herod had great passion and also great jealousy concerning his wife Mariamne I. She learns of Herod's plans to murder her, and stops sleeping with him. Herod puts her on trial on a trumped-up charge of adultery. His sister Salome (not Herodias's daughter Salomé) was chief witness against her. Mariamne I's mother Alexandra made an appearance and incriminated her own daughter. Historians say her mother was next on Herod's list to be executed and did this only to save her own life. Writings state that Mariamne was calm and serene at her execution at the age of 25 years, having given birth to 5 children in 7 years. Alexandra then made a bid for power, declaring herself Queen and stating that Herod was mentally unfit to serve any longer. Josephus wrote that this was Alexandra's strategic mistake and Herod executed her without trial. 28 BC Herod executed his brother-in-law Kostobar (husband of Salome, father to Berenice) for conspiracy. Large festival in Jerusalem, as Herod had built a Theatre and an Amphitheatre. 27 BC An assassination attempt on Herod is discovered in time. To honour Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus (Augustus) Herod rebuilds Samaria and renames it Sebaste. 25 BC After a great drought there is hunger and epidemics. Herod imports grain from Egypt and starts an exemplary aid programme. He also waives a third of the taxes. 23 BC Herod builds a palace in Jerusalem and the fortress Herodian in Judaea. Herod marries his third wife, Mariamne II, the daughter of high priest Simon. 22 BC Building starts on Caesarea Maritima and its harbour. From the Romans he obtains the regions Trachonitis, Batanaea and Auranitis under his rule. Circa 20 BC Expansion starts on the Second Temple. (See Herod's Temple) 10s BC Circa 18 BC Herod travels for the second time to Rome. 14 BC Herod supports the Jews in Anatolia and Cyrene. Owing to the prosperity in Judaea he waives a quarter of the taxes. He argues with his sons. 13 BC Herod makes his first-born son Antipater (his son with Doris) first heir in his will. 12 BC Because Herod suspects both his sons (from his marriage to Mariamne I) Alexandros and Aristobulos of threatening his life, he takes them to Aquileia to be tried; but Augustus is able to reconcile the three. Herod supports the financially strapped Olympic Games and ensures their future. Herod amends his will so that Alexander and Aristobulos rise in the royal succession, but Antipater would be higher in the succession. Circa 10 BC The newly expanded temple in Jerusalem is inaugurated. War against the Nabateans. 0s BC 9 BC The inauguration of Caesarea Maritima is a marvellous spectacle with a festival. Owing to the course of the war against the Nabateans Herod falls into disgrace with Augustus. Herod again suspects Alexander intends to kill him. 8 BC Herod accuses his sons from Mariamne I of high treason. Herod is reconciled with Augustus, which also gives him the permission to proceed legally against his sons. 7 BC The court hearing takes place in Berytos (Beirut) before a Roman court. Mariamne I's sons are found guilty and executed. Now the succession is changed so that Antipater is the exclusive successor to the throne. In second place the succession incorporates Herod Philip, the son from Mariamne II. 6 BC Herod proceeds harshly against the Pharisees, who had announced that the birth of the Messiah would mean the end of his rule. 5 BC Antipater is brought before the court charged with the intended murder of Herod. The sentence must first be approved only by the Roman emperor. Herod makes his son Herod Antipas from his 4th marriage with Malthace as his successor. Herod is seriously ill. 4 BC Young Torah-students smash the golden eagle over the main entrance of the Temple of Jerusalem after the Pharisee teachers claim it is a Roman symbol. Herod arrests them, brings them to court, sentences and punishes them. The emperor Augustus approves the death penalty for Antipater. Herod executes his son. As he has just executed his sole heir, Herod again changes his will: Archelaus (from the marriage with Malthace) will rule as king over Herod's entire kingdom, while Antipas (from Malthace) and Philip (from the fifth marriage with Cleopatra of Jerusalem) as Tetrarchs over Galilee and Peraea, also over Gaulanitis (Golan), Trachonitis (Hebrew: Argob), Batanaea (now Ard-el-Bathanyeh) and Panias. As Augustus does not confirm his will, no one gets the title of King. However, the three sons do get the stated territories. Death 4 BC The scholarly consensus, based on Josephus' Antiquities of the Jews is that Herod died at the end of March, or early April of 4 BC. Josephus tells us that Herod died 37 years after being named as King by the Romans, and 34 years after the death of Antigonus[5]. This would imply that he died in 4 BC. This is confirmed by the fact that his three sons, between whom his kingdom was divided, dated their rule from 4 BC. For instance, he states that Herod Philip's death took place, after a thirty-seven year reign, in the twentieth year of Tiberius, which would imply that he took over on Herod's death in 4 BC.[6] In addition, Josephus says that Herod died after a lunar eclipse [7] , and a partial eclipse[8] took place in 4 BC. Because of apparent inconsistencies in the method Josephus counts years, it has sometimes been suggested that this date is slightly out, and that 5 BC might be preferable[9] - there were two total eclipses in that year [10]. Sometimes a later date has been suggested[11], but the next lunar eclipse did not take place until 1 BC, and Herod's sons had already been ruling for three years by then. Josephus records that Herod's final illness was excruciating (Ant. 17.6.5): But the disease of Herod grew more severe, God inflicting punishment for his crimes. For a slow fire burned in him which was not so apparent to those who touched him, but augmented his internal distress; for he had a terrible desire for food which it was not possible to resist. He was affected also with ulceration of the intestines, and with especially severe pains in the colon, while a watery and transparent humor settled about his feet. He suffered also from a similar trouble in his abdomen. Nay more, his privy member was putrefied and produced worms. He found also excessive difficulty in breathing, and it was particularly disagreeable because of the offensiveness of the odor and the rapidity of respiration. He had convulsions also in every limb, which gave him uncontrollable strength. It was said, indeed, by those who possessed the power of divination and wisdom to explain such events, that God had inflicted this punishment upon the King on account of his great impiety From Josephus' descriptions, some medical experts propose that Herod had chronic kidney disease complicated by Fournier's gangrene.[12] Marriages and Children 1. married Doris Son Antipater, executed 4 BC 2. married Mariamne I, daughter of Hasmonean Alexandros Son Alexandros, executed 7 BC Son Aristobulos, executed 7 BC Daughter Salampsio Daughter Cypros 3. married Mariamne II, daughter of High-Priest Simon Son Herod 4. married Malthace Son Herodes Archelaos - Ethnarch Son Herodes Antipas - Tetrarch Daughter Olympias 5. married Cleopatra of Jerusalem Son Herod Philip - Tetrarch Son Herod 6. married Pallas Son Phasael 7. married Phaidra Daughter Roxane 8. married Elpis Daughter Salome bint Herod I 9. married a cousin (name unknown) no known children 10. married a niece (name unknown) no known children It is very probable that Herod had more children, especially with the last wives, and also that he had more daughters, as women among Romans at that time were not counted as important.
