Talk:Herod Antipas

message: This can't be right. In Roman times Lyon, France was Lugdunum, while Léon, Spain was Legion, after the Roman legion stationed there. Neither name has anything to do with lions.
Additional notes (July, the 6th, 2019):
This may mean either the city of Lugdunum now known as Lyon,[55]
The claimed reference doesn't check out. It's not about that topic.
The place of his exile is given by Josephus' Antiquities as in Gaul (Gallia Lugdunensis).[54]
The Wikipedia entry claims he was banished to Gaul. The referenced source claims Antipas was banished to Spain.
::Thanks for noting this blatant error. Elsewhere, Josephus states explicitly that Herod Antipas was exiled to Vienna, a city of Gaul. The error has since been corrected.Davidbena (talk) 13:04, 7 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I had obviously erred in thinking that this article was referring to Herod Archelaus who was exiled to Vienna. As for this Herod, Herod Antipas, I have no further information, other than that he was exiled to Spain.Davidbena (talk) 13:17, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

message: Someone speculated that the passage on John the Baptist in Josephus is a Christian interpolation. Josephus' account differs from the New Testament account and is mentioned by Origen. I can find no credible scholars which view this passage as a Christian interpolation. Keep your speculation to yourself. 24.7.87.135 21:20, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Death date? 

message: I've cleaned up this article a bit. Among the changes, I've added brackets for birth/death, created a seperate section for materials pseudepigraphical in nature, created a section for Antipas' role in popular culture, and I've also cleaned up the section related to Jesus' trial.
A factual mention that of the gospels, only Luke records the trial is fine, however it was irrelevant to the article to have a long apologetic of why only Luke would record the trial, explaining point by point the purpose of each gospel. I have removed this section. If it restored, it really should go to the footnotes, as it breaks the narrative of the article.

replies: text: Thanks to both reviewers. I'm happy with the article's coverage of its subject's biography, but I'm hesitant to nominate it for good article status while the Legacy section doesn't mention anything between the Gospel of Peter and Jesus Christ Superstar. I suspect there's more to be said about portrayals of or attitudes towards Herod, but I don't know where to look for information about that. EALacey 14:45, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

text: I couldn't easily see a copy of Hoehner's book when I was expanding the article. I now have access to a larger library, and I'm planning to revise the article after Christmas to make use of the major studies by Hoehner and Jensen. EALacey (talk) 18:12, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

text: I don't see a problem with the current biblical references. The article explains what the New Testament authors say about Herod Antipas (surely a significant aspect of the topic), without representing their perspectives as historical fact. Psalm 2 is mentioned only in the context of Robin Lane Fox's suggestion that this inspired Luke's trial narrative; I've rewritten the reference to make this clearer. Of course there are additional academic sources that should be used, as John Scoggins points out above – I will get to this eventually, if nobody else does it first.

thread_title:  Assessment 

message: I think this subsection should be be turned into a section a part form the section "reign" since it reflects the view of the christianity and all its non-trivial sources are the gospels. Lechatjaune (talk) 14:07, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: John the Baptist and Jesus

message: There is a confusing circular reference in this article that manifests in two places: (1) the opening which asserts that the true name of the article's subject is "Herod Antipater" but is "known by the nickname 'Antipas,'" and (2) the third sentence of the second paragraph of the "Early Life" section which states "It was only after they were executed (c. 7 BCE), and Herod's oldest son Antipater was convicted of trying to poison his father (5 BCE), that the now elderly Herod fell back on his youngest son Antipas, revising his will to make him heir." This sentence makes it sound like Antipater and Antipas are in fact different individuals. What up wit dat?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.34.227.119 (talk) 19:11, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Antipater vs Antipas 

message: The body of the article makes this clear - he was persuaded to ask Caligula for the title of king but instead he was sent into exile. This is in the body of the text already. Another source is John L. McKenzie's Dictionary of the Bible."Herodias, envious of the honors paid to her brother while her husband did not have the royal dignity, persuaded her husband to go to Rome and ask the title of king. Agrippa sent a representative to present charges against Herod. The charges were credited and Herod was exiled to Lyons in Gaul; Herodias accompanied him of her own choice. No further record of them appears." Doug Weller talk 11:49, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Denied the title of king 

message: The family tree looks messed up.  
First of all, I don't know what the mini-tree linking Aretas IV (King of Arabia) and Phasaelis (a city??) represents.  Maybe a hierarchy rather than a true family tree??
Whatever it is should be stated clearly.  If it's not a family tree, put it in a different section (or delete it).  If it relates to (say) paternal or maternal side, then make a new sub-heading.  
Secondly, currently the family tree seems to show inter alia that Herod II was the descendant of two women (presumably married?), namely Mariamne II and Mariamne I!!  Besides being a physical impossibility (in those times, if not also now), it is contradicted in the article which clearly states Herod II was the son of Herod the Great and Mariamne II.  So maybe this tree is trying to indicate that Herod the Great had five wives/concubines/sexual partners.  
But how can the reader know (at a glance!!) that "A┈B┈C┈D┈E┈F" means F partnered with A, B, C, D & E, rather than A partnered with B, C, D, E & F?  Or, more literally, A partnered with B, B partnered A & C, C partnered B & D, D partnered C & E, E partnered D & F, and F partnered E?  
It is totally ambiguous.  It is not enough to say that the reader can decode it by reading the article(s), and/or deducing the gender of the various individuals.  The purpose of the family tree is to show relationships plainly.  If you have to read the article to understand it, then it is not very helpful.

thread_title: conflation of history with gospels

message: Herod the King who was reigning when Jesus was born Matthew 2 died while Jesus was still a child. It states Matthew Ch 2 verse 19 "But when Harod was dead, behold an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt 20 saying Arise and take the child and his mother, go into the land of Israel for they be dead which sought the young child life" 3 after Herods death, then came John the Baptist preaching in the wilderness. 
14 at that time HEROD TETRARCH heard of the fame of Jesus and said to his servants ," This is John Baptist ; he is risen from dead and therefore mighty works do show forth of themselves in him" 3. Foe Harod had laid hold on John, bound him and put him in prison for Herodias sake his brothers wife. 174.247.224.92 (talk) 16:51, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
