Summary: "Deborah: A Tale of the Times of Judas Maccabaeus" by James M. Ludlow is a historical novel written in the early 20th century, set during the tumultuous period of the Maccabean Revolt against the Seleucid Empire. The story introduces us to Deborah, the daughter of Elkiah, who navigates the oppressive regime of King Antiochus Epiphanes and grapples with family loyalty and personal courage amidst political and social upheaval. At the start of the book, we witness the lavish celebrations in Antioch led by King Antiochus, who is determined to outshine all rivals with grand displays of power and wealth. In this setting, we are introduced to Captain Dion, a Greek officer, and his Jewish friend Glaucon, as they engage in conversations about the political situation regarding Jerusalem, where violence and oppression are rampant. Meanwhile, the blind seer Caleb and Deborah, who is caught between the Jewish traditions and the seductive allure of Hellenistic culture, reveal the struggles of their family as they confront the challenges posed by both the tyranny of the Seleucids and the treachery of those who betray their own people. The complex character dynamics established in this opening portion set the stage for a gripping narrative of struggle, identity, and resilience. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
