4thofelevenI admit, I’ve always sort of liked Herod.
I mean, yes, yes, ruthless murderous bastard, but from a narrative point of view I can’t help but respect someone who, on hearing about a prophesy, decides the best way to deal with it is to immediately murder anyone who even slightly resembles a Chosen One… So many stories could have been improved with a Herod around at the right time.
