All these aspects are present simultaneously and mutually dependent. However, Solomon’s portrait also includes the fool, unable to resist women. The story’s construction of Solomon’s worldview offers a glimpse into the man behind the glorious image that others construct of him. It shows a man who could not live up to the expectations of the great king others take him for.}, language = {en} }
