In this paper the author presents a study of Susanna’s story (in catholic ca-nonical text Dn 13) from the perspective of identity related to names Juda and Israel. His analysis emphasises both the religious and ethnical meaning and hierarchical relation (Juda within Israel, but Juda above Israel). A Judean woman (Susanna) and a Judean young man (Daniel) save the righteousness of Israel corrupted by its own judges. The idea of the Judean moral elite is a reaction against the Hasmonean political ideology and ambition to re-establish the Israelite state shaped aer a fashion of David‘s Kingdom. Flavius Josephus in his account of the passage of power from the Hasmonean dynasty to Antipater, Herod’s father, mentioned the Judean deputation asking Pompeus to restore a non-monarchical government. The interpretation focused on ethnical and religious identity is in strong opposition to the interpretation emphasising the gender and feministic aspect of the story of Susanna. The weak point of it is the passive role of Susanna and the a-sexu-al role of Daniel.
