Moses as a Tyrant?: Moses’s Anti-tyrannical Reaction to Zambrias’s Accusation (Ant. 4.145–149)

| 520 | |a This paper examines Zambrias’s accusation of tyranny against Moses in Flavius Josephus’s Jewish Antiquities (Ant. 4.145-149) and Moses’s distinctive response. Unlike his handling of Korah’s rebellion, Moses addresses Zambrias’s charge with notable restraint and a lack of direct confrontation. This study explores how Zambrias’s speech activates ancient stereotypes about tyrants - deception, lawlessness, and the metaphor of slavery - and how these are used to depict Moses as a despotic ruler. By analyzing the broader context of sole rulership in the ancient world and comparing Moses’s response to similar cases, such as Josephus’s handling of accusations in Vita 260 and Fabius Maximus’s strategy as recounted in Livy, Ab urbe condita 22.14.1-15.1, this paper argues that Josephus intentionally crafts an anti-tyrannical image of Moses. Instead of exhibiting the anger and harshness typical of a tyrant, Moses passes over the accusation and maintains control over his affections, thereby letting the charge come to nothing. | ||
