The Hebrew lawgiver Moses was compared to ancient Greek lawgivers such as Lycurgus of Sparta and Solon of Athens by Philo and Josephus.
About this Event

The Hebrew lawgiver Moses was compared to ancient Greek lawgivers such as Lycurgus of Sparta and Solon of Athens by the ancient Jewish authors Philo and Josephus—both writing in Greek while living in the Roman empire. This lecture explores their views of Moses and ancient Greek lawgivers on topics including education, ethical habituation, writing, prophecy, and political rule. Early modern authors would inherit and examine these lawgivers, along with others, in their own reflections on law, culture, and politics.

A lecture by  Professor Melissa Lane
