Recommend this site Josephus Flavius game Josephus Flavius was a famous Jewish historian of the first century at the time of the Second Temple destruction. During the Jewish-Roman war he got trapped in a cave with a group of 40 soldiers surrounded by romans. The legend has it that preferring suicide to capture, the Jews decided to form a circle and, proceeding around it, to kill every third remaining person until no one was left. Josephus, not keen to die, quickly found the safe spot in the circle and thus stayed alive. The applet below generalizes that situation. The number of people is limited by 50, but "Every which" controls allow for variations on the original theme. A player selects a spot and presses one of the Fast or Slow buttons to observe the sequence in which people will die. The purpose of the game, of course, is to stay alive by choosing the right spot.

CTK Exchange Front Page Movie shortcuts Personal info ... Recommend this site Josephus Flavius Problem Following is an excerpt from Mathematical Recreations and Essays by W.W. Rouse Ball and H.S.M.Coxeter Hegesippus says that Josephus saved his life by such a device. According to his account, after the Romans had captured Jotapat, Josephus and forty other Jews took refuge in a cave. Josephus, much to his disgust, found that all except himself and one other man were resolved to kill themselves, so as not to fall into the hands of their conquerors. Fearing to show his opposition too openly he consented, but declared that the operation must be carried out in an orderly way, and suggested that they should arrange themselves round a circle and that every third person should be killed until but one man was left, who must then commit suicide. It is alleged that he placed himself and the other man in the 31st and 16th place respectively. The medieval question was usually presented in the following form. A ship, carrying as passengers 15 Turks and 15 Christians, encountered a storm, and, in order to save the ship and crew, one-half of the passengers had to be thrown into the sea. Accordingly the passengers were placed in a circle, and every ninth man, reckoning from a certain point, was cast overboard. It is desired to find an arrangement by which all the Christians should be saved. In this case we must arrange the men thus: CCCCTTTTTCCTCCCTCTTCCTTTCTTCCT , where C stands for a Christian and

Josephus Flavius Josephus Flavius was a Jew who grew up in Jerusalem at the beginning of the Common Era. He was well educated, knowing both Jewish texts and the Greek language (although his Greek grammar was faulty). During the Great Revolt from 66-73 CE, Josephus served as a general of the Galilee. When the Roman army overcame his forces, Josephus and 40 compatriots fled to a cave. They agreed to commit suicide. Josephus fixed the lots so that his name would come out last. After the others killed themselves, Josephus convinced the remaining fighter to surrender with him. As a prisoner of the Romans , Josephus volunteered to write the history of the Great Revolt . General (later Emperor) Vespasian agreed. Josephus thus provided the Romans (and now us) with a first-hand account of the fall of Jerusalem in 70 CE. It must be emphasized that Josephus was writing for Vespasian, so his work is definitely biased. He mentions several times in his Greek writings that he created an Aramaic version of the events as well, but it, unfortunately, is not extant. Following the end of the war, Josephus was taken to

Josephus Flavius (36 – 100 AD), Jewish general, one of two directing the revolt against Rome in Galilee. After Vespasian captured him, he prophesied the latter would be emperor. When this proved true, the Romans honored him. He then turned historian, writing The Jewish War The Antiquities of the Jews and many other books. Because of a paragraph about John the Baptist (and maybe a sentence about Jesus), the Church preserved his works.

The Life of Josephus Flavius Josephus Flavius both participated in and wrote the history of the Jewish interaction with Rome. By Jeffrey A. Spitzer Josephus Flavius wrote a history of the Jewish War Against the Romans (JW) , the massive Antiquities of the Jews (AJ) , which retells Jewish history from its origins up until the war, an autobiography (Life) , and a theological defense of Judaism called Against Apion (AA) . Josephus played a major role in the first Jewish revolt, and thus, both JW and Life —though on many points contradicting each other or having markedly different perspectivesare fascinating (if self-aggrandizing) resources for retelling his life story. As a historian, his writings are both entertaining and of questionable objectivityinasmuch as he is also a key player in the story he tells. Josephus the Prodigy According to his autobiography, Joseph ben Mattityahu was born in Jerusalem in 37-38 C.E. into an aristocratic, priestly family; his great-grandfather on his mother's side was the Hasmonean high Priest Jonathan. He describes himself as a child prodigy, capable, at age 14, of clarifying details of the law to the leading priests of the city.

Ancient Egypt: Manetho on the Hyksos Avaris, capital of the Hyksos, founded in the Saite nome Manetho on the Hyksos Manetho , Aegyptiaca., frag. 42, 1.75-79.2 Tutimaeus . In his reign, for what cause I know not, a blast of God smote us; and unexpectedly, from the regions of the East, invaders of obscure race marched in confidence of victory against our land. By main force they easily overpowered the rulers of the land, they then burned our cities ruthlessly, razed to the ground the temples of the gods, and treated all the natives with a cruel hostility, massacring some and leading into slavery the wives and children of others. Finally, they appointed as king one of their number whose name was Salitis. He had his seat at Memphis, levying tribute from Upper and Lower Egypt, and leaving garrisons behind in the most advantageous positions. Above all, he fortified the district to the east, foreseeing that the Assyrians, as they grew stronger, would one day covet and attack his kingdom. In the Saite [Sethroite] nome he found a city very favorably situated on the east of the Bubastite branch of the Nile, and called Auaris (= Avaris ) after an ancient religious tradition. This place he rebuilt and fortified with massive walls, planting there a garrison of as many as 240,000 heavy-armed men to guard his frontier. Here he would come in summertime, partly to serve out rations and pay his troops, partly to train them carefully in manoeuvres and so strike terror into foreign tribes.

BELLUM JUDAICUM (Josephus Flavius) THE JEWISH WAR By William Markiewicz War for holy causes has never served Israel's interests. Israel has chosen politicians who refuse to see that the opposing side also has its fanatics, and, what's more important, masses ready to die for their holiest cause: the pride of being free. One more point: If I were Israeli, I wouldn't rely too much on 'American support.' Americans may play a machiavellian game; seeing that Israel persists in a suicidal policy America may just wait until she hangs herself with her own rope. When the next Arab/Israeli conflict breaks out and Israel does well, America will intervene to mediate the ceasefire. If Israel doesn't do well, America will just wait and see, launching appeals for both sides to step back. Back to the index of the Vagabond William Markiewicz

Josephus ist nicht nur ein Kriegsherr der aufständischen Juden gewesen, sondern einer, der dann aber zu den Römern übergewechselt ist. Er ist nicht nur einer, der das Leiden der Juden gesehen hat, sondern auch das Leiden, was die Juden den Nichtjuden zugefügt hatten – welche die Römer zu Hilfe riefen, und was ihnen dann zum Verhängnis wurde. Den Flavius Josephus als einen Kämpfer gegen den Antijudaismus darzustellen, ist nur die eine Seite der Medaille – die des Saulus. Es gibt aber auch die andere Seite, die des Paulus: des Kämpfers gegen die Antirömischen Bestrebungen innerhalb des Judentums. Und die sollte man nicht vergessen, wenn man von dem historischen Josephus und dem reellen Paulus sprechen will, und nicht bloss die eigene political correctness abermals in die Antike hinein projizieren.

I to. It is important to see the difference between Philo and Josephus. Philo is a greek speaking philosopher and teacher in Alexandria. Josephus is a aramaic/hebrew speaking priest, a politican and armyleader, not an philosopher. But he has seen the suffering and dieing of the jews. Lets take a look to the partys of the conflict: There is the national party of jerusalem who wants a jewisch state. There is a religios party who wants to separate the jews from the other religion, with strong religios teachings. This party get stronger after the fall of the temple. The party around Josephus, is a small one, they want to cooperate with Rome, but they also want that the romans understand the jewish people and religion. They hope Rome will help them in the greek-jew conflicts. (Caesarea and Alexandria). If you read Josephus "against Apion" you see, this man is not an philosopher like Philo, this is an fighter against anti-jewism, and i can't think, that he has not wrote many letters to other groups.

Josephus Josephus Flavius, the ancient Jewish writer of first century Palestine, wrote a number of historical, apologetical and autobiographical works which together comprise a major part of Hellenistic Jewish literature. The original Aramaic version of his first work, known as Bellum Judaicum , or The Jewish War , has been lost. However, the Greek version of this work, and the rest of his works written in Greek during his Roman exile after the destruction of Jerusalem, were preserved by the Church, particularly because of their general importance for the history of Palestine in the early Christian period and for the curious Testimonium Flavianum to the founder of Christianity contained in the Jewish Antiquities Latin translations of Josephus' oeuvre made between the fourth and sixth centuries were studied in Christian Europe for an entire millennium. The editio princeps of Josephus displayed here was in fact an edition of his works in Latin, still the intellectual language of Europe in 1470; the first edition of the Greek text did not appear in print until nearly 75 years later, after the Renaissance revival of Greek learning. Subsequently, hundreds of editions of Josephus' works appeared in all corners of the Western world, not only in Greek and Latin but in every modern vernacular as well. Among the most popular authors during the history of Christian printing, Josephus suffered a different fate among Jews: except for a pseudepigraphic medieval Hebrew paraphrase of The Jewish War
