-Stephen (Steg)
  "Matters deteriorated even further during the reign of Alexander
Yannai, who used Greek soldiers against Jewish rebels, crucifying dozens
of them, and conducting a merciless war against the Pharisees.  This
ruthless king became a subject for admiration only after his death.
Paradoxically, his widow Salome Alexandra would be remembered for her
close cooperation with the Pharisees.  It would seem that in rabbinical
tradition no Jewish monarch could be considered good unless dead or
female."
