How does one account for this apparent paradox? And what does it tell us about Jewish reception of Hellenic literature and lore?Erich Gruen is Professor of History and Classics , Emeritus, at the University of California, Berkeley.  His books include Heritage and Hellenism: The Reinvention of Jewish Tradition, Rethinking the Other in Antiquity, and Scriptural Tales Retold.
