Israel

Israel or Palestine was a region in the Levant and the disputed home to the Israelite and Philistine people.

When visited by Xena, the Israelites were led by King Saul and were considered non-native thieves by the local Philistines. Some time later, they were in the midst of a civil war between those supporting Greek culture and those led by Judas Maccabeus. (XWP: "The Giant Killer"; RPG: Secrets of the Ancient World)

Samson of Palestine was one of the favored athletes in the Second Olympic Games. (XWP comic: Xena: Warrior Princess and the Original Olympics)


 * Israel was the presumed home of the Zealots and Eli's people, although this was never stated directly in any episode.
