Historical background
JUDAEA - JOHN HYRCANUS I
(135-104 BC)
Jean Hycarnus is the grandson of Matthias (+ 166 AC.), the son of Judah (+ 160 AC.), the nephew of Jonathan (+ 143 AC.) and of Simon (+ 134 AC.). He belongs to the Maccabees or Macabees (the), family of Jewish patriots which is at the origin of a national uprising (167 BC) against the Hellenization policy of the Seleucid king Antiochos IV Epiphanes (175-164 BC.). Mathias died at the start of the revolt and his sons perished in their turn. Simon obtained the independence of Judea in 142 BC. John I Hycarnus is the founder of the Hasmonean dynasty. The story of the Maccabean revolt is traced in the four biblical Books of the Maccabees, composed between the 1st century BC. and the 2nd century AD.
