Backed by the emperor, he establishes a client kingdom that forcibly maintains peace. Despite many accomplishments, the Jews revile Herod and question his authority. His personal life if fraught with familial intrigues and conflict. Amidst all this - Herod's dark secret continually resurfaces: he has prophetic abilities, and visions of future events - a gift that will haunt him until his gruesome death.
