From Data Over Dogma.

This episode, we’re going to figure out what the heck a Maccabee is. That is, we’re covering both history and a couple of books in the apocrypha. That’s right: we’re discussing the Maccabean revolt.

What do we know about the actual historical event? Who were the main players, and how did it all shake out? Is the story presented in the books of Maccabees true to the history? What’s a Seleucid?
