SUMMARY:
This research paper aimed to analyze the deuterocanonical document of I Maccabees. The so-called Maccabean insurgents were successful in battle against the forces of King Antiochus IV Epiphanes, who ruled Syria between 164 and 165 B.C. In command of the insurgency was Judas Maccabeus, who led a small contingent of rebels in opposition to the Greek army. These Seleucid phalanxes, on the threshold of their bases, suffered a series of weakenings due to the lack of resources that should have been paid to the hired army and the small amount of spoils of war promised. The attitude of the Seleucid army was enough for the message to reach Judas Maccabeus and his followers. Based on information about the weakening of the Seleucid legions, Judas Maccabeus promotes the revolts by dividing Antiochus' army into factions, attracting and confusing them into their villages. This antagonism occurs while Judas summons those who, due to their religion and customs, did not adhere to the Hellenization of Judea. For these, the desert and the Mediterranean basin were all that was left for their subsistence. They did not have weapons of war or guerrilla tactics; quite the opposite, they were farmers and shepherds who, when summoned, were ready to fight an army based on the symbols that represented Judaism at that time. Inspired by the case above, this work aims to analyze the discourses produced in the Maccabean insurrections and their symbolic elements. These systems arose from the concern of the Maccabees in the insurrections and their successors in the chronicle in constituting a heredity, from the maxim of myth and its constitutive elements of memory for the composition of the Maccabean identity. Consequently, the mythological question and the construction of Maccabean heroism take on tones of sanctity in many Mediterranean Christian communities after the first centuries of the Christian era, where they are approached as new axes beyond the merely military understanding of the confrontations, the suffrage of the cultural hybridization between Hellenism, Judaism and their representations. Religiosity, culture and urban space were supporting elements for the constitution of Jewish identity, consolidated through ethnic pluralism within its own symbolic construction, and which after the imposition of Hellenism led the Jews to military insurrections and religious conflicts in Judea. In addition to the analysis of the book of 1 Maccabees, the documents of Daniel from the Hebrew Bible and Flavius Josephus will be analyzed in this work, as they corroborate the narratives of the insurgent revolts of the 2nd century B.C. The book of Daniel certainly tells some of the most controversial stories of the ancient world, and in addition to the symbolic narratives and mythological passages, the accounts of the succession of empires played an important role in the document. Flavius Josephus discusses substantial elements, but his importance lies in a narrative that complements the Judaizing relations in the 2nd century B.C. by narrating the insurgent movements of the so-called Maccabean period.
