I think his history of dynasties of Egypt still is one of the basic works in this, but he tells this whole story, which essentially describes the kind of first blood libels that the, you know, the Jews to celebrate their, you know, various religious holidays would capture Greeks and fatten them up in the basement and then slaughter them and eat them or drain their blood or do something. Yeah.

It's just the sort of earlier version of that kind. Also, I think it repeats the sort of Egyptian version of the Exodus out of Egypt, which is quite different than the biblical version. In this case, the Egyptian, you know, they, They stole all the stuff out of the Egyptians' houses and ran off into the desert. The Jews stole all the stuff and ran off. Yeah, Hebrews. Hebrews robbed the Egyptians.

They were taken in. We took them in and sheltered them, gave them jobs, and then they stole all the jewelry and ran away. We didn't even chase them. We were glad to see them gone. So it's a different narrative on that story. But it essentially portrays the Jews as being hostile. They don't like other people. They're contemptuous of other people's religions, the rest of it.

And see, the Greeks tended to think of themselves as being extremely cosmopolitan. Now, the Greeks run across people worshiping other gods. They go, oh, those are just our gods under different names. Everything was sort of adjusted to their landscapes. So you end up with that kind of hostility, which was there at the time.

And that was probably influenced also by some of these earlier rebellions that had taken place in Egypt. During the Roman period, you not only have the Judean rebellion in 70 AD, but you have a couple of other uprisings in North Africa. And they're very... bloody affairs. And in some cases, Jews begin massacring other people around them. They start killing the Greeks.

The Greeks start killing them. So there was a fair amount of, from that period on, a certain amount of bad blood of mutual contempt between Greeks or between Hellenes, between the people who became Hellenized, as the Romans would be, and the Jews. And the Romans also seem to have developed much of that idea.

They consider Judea as being a horrible place to have to govern, inhabited by a stubborn, obnoxious people. Not well-liked.
