Who was Flavius Josephus?
Josephus, also known as Yosef Ben Matityahu, was born in 37 CE and died around 101 CE. He was a Jewish priest, military leader and historian. At the onset of the First Roman-Jewish War (66-70 CE), he was given command of Jewish forces in Galilee. After the Jewish garrison of Yodfat was overrun by the Romans, most of the survivors committed suicide, leaving Josephus to surrender.Josephus told his captor, Flavius Vespasian, that a star or comet that appeared in the sky around 66 CE was a sign that Vespasian was the long-awaited Messiah of the Jews, and that he would become emperor of Rome. When this came true, Josephus was released from slavery with great honours and took the family name of his conqueror, calling himself Flavius Josephus.As a Roman citizen, he began to write a series of works about Jewish history, trhe most important of which was probably Jewish Antiquities, published in 93 CE. His works are read with caution by modern historians because he took care in his writings not to offend the Romans, while at the same time providing the best case for the Jews. Nevertheless they are seen as an important insight into Jewish history and culture. Largely ignored by the pagan Romans and even the Jews, the works of Josephus survived because of Christian interest. There is little or no extra-biblical evidence for the early figures in Christianity, but the works of Josephus (with or without interpolation) were seen as giving a hint as to their historicity.

What was the leader of the zealots perspective on the siege of masada?
His name was Eleazar ben Yair. The ancient Jewish historian Flavius Josephus ended his monumental, multi-volume account of the First Jewish Revolt against Rome (the Jewish War) with the story of a mass suicide at Masada. According to Josephus, some 960 Jewish rebels holding out on top of Masada - the last stronghold to remain in Jewish hands after Jerusalem's destruction in 70 C.E. - chose to commit suicide rather than surrender to the Roman troops besieging the fortress. It is because of Josephus' story of the suicide, which includes a speech allegedly given by the rebel leader Eleazar ben Yair, that Masada became a symbol of Jewish resistance and the modern state of Israel.
