Hellenistic Inter state Political Ethics and the Emergence of the - Jewish Stat

Against the background of a reconstructed inter-state ethical code, the rise of the Hasmoneans,Judea''s ruling dynasty, is given a new perspective. Doron Mendels explores how concepts such as liberty, justice, fairness, loyalty, reciprocity, adherence to ancestral laws, compassion, accountability and love of fatherland became meaningful in the relations between nations in the Hellenistic Mediterranean sphere, as well as between ruling empires and their subject states. The emerging Jewish state echoed this ethical system.>
