| Summary: | Although Greek and Latin classical texts deliver many examples of anti-Jewish slanders, it cannot be confirmed that the prejudices against the Jews hold in Greco-Roman antiquity were reasonably different form those against other people. Blood libel or accusation of ass worship were invented and developed in the context of wars and social conflicts and were used first of all as a vehicle of military and political propaganda. Only in Egypt we are able to trace the long-lasting and widespread anti-Jewish attitude, which was expressed particularly in many versions of anti-Exodus tale. Christianity, despite of its conflict with Judaism, made almost no use of classical anti-Jewish patterns, recognizing itself as an heir of Jewish traditions. |
