Herod The Great: A Historic Drama, In Three Parts (1896) is a play written by Henry Solly. The play revolves around the life of Herod the Great, a king of Judea who ruled from 37 BC to 4 BC. The play is divided into three parts, each depicting different stages of Herod's life. The first part focuses on Herod's rise to power and his early reign, including his relationship with his wife Mariamne. The second part portrays Herod's paranoia and his descent into madness, as he becomes increasingly obsessed with maintaining his power and eliminating any threats to his throne. The final part of the play depicts Herod's death and the aftermath of his reign. Throughout the play, Solly explores themes of power, ambition, and the corrupting influence of absolute authority. The play is notable for its historical accuracy and vivid portrayal of the political and social climate of ancient Judea.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
