Abstract: Did warrior heroines exist in the Hebrew tradition? The answer is a seemingly reassuring yes, but the paper shows that the topos of female heroism was not a popular theme in Jewish tradition. To imagine ancient war scenes according to depictions in modern media can be misleading; the central purpose of this brief survey is to give a glimpse into this topic.

Key words: heroines, Book of Joshua, Book of Judges, Book of Judith, Josephus, wars in Antiquity
