Summary

"Hebrew Heroes: A Tale Founded on Jewish History" by A. L. O. E. tells a story of historical fiction that takes place in Jerusalem during the Maccabean Revolt, and explores the clash between faith and oppression through the eyes of different people. The story starts with Lycidas, a Greek, witnessing the bravery of Hebrew people choosing to be martyrs instead of giving up their beliefs, which makes a big impression on him. As the narrative develops, Judas Maccabeus rises as a leading figure in the fight for religious freedom, while Lycidas finds himself pulled into the conflict when he stumbles upon a secret burial, leading him on a journey to understand the Hebrew faith and the reason behind such courage.
