    "When the Maccabees reconsecrated the ancient Temple (Chanukah means "reconsecration") they emptied it of all images -- in this case, the Hellenistic statues celebrating the "gods," who personified familiar human virtues -- warriors for justice, masters of the natural world, protecting fathers, fecund mothers."
