Herodus Magnus! By that name, I am known. You call me Herod the Great, but you do so contemptuously. You cast me as the monster in your Bible story.

Mine was a prominent family. From my grandfather, Antipater,...

Objects: Christmas tree balls Lesson: Today I have brought some balls to put on our Christmas tree.
