- Scenario: "Queen of the East"; 2007
- Description
- James A. Huston describes the “most remarkable woman of the ancient world.” Zenobia’s life story is presented as a play. Zenobia (b. 240 AD) was skilled with weapons and horses. With her husband Odenathus, Zenobia battled the Persians. After her husband’s assassination, Zenobia liberated Egypt from Rome but eventually her forces were defeated in 272 AD. Huston believes that if Zenobia had been victorious, “we would now live in a much more pleasant world.”
