It was not until 140 that Simon had himself crowned king (in, ironically, a Hellenistic ceremony).
Jewish historians have said that Simon's claiming of kingship is what led to the downfall of the state, since no one who did not belong to the Davidic line was supposed to hold that title.

The texts emphasise the Goddess' desire for her lover, a display of love which is largely absent from depictions of Demeter's interaction with either Zeus or Poseidon.
