Abstracts

One of the strongest emotions that condition a person‘s outward actions is fear. The Bible offers examples of a wide range of emotions experienced by characters, from joy to sorrow. More than potential human fear of something that might harm us, however, we recognize in the Bible the fear of God. The Book of Judith, written at a time of strong Hellenistic influence on the Jewish people, provides the reader with a remarkable insight into the actions of characters under the influence of an abundance, lack, or excess of fear. This article attempts to offer just such a perspective on the understanding of the emotion of fear in ancient Greece and its comparison with the Book of Judith.
