Herod The Great
Herod I or Herod the Great () was a History of the Jews in the Roman Empire, Roman Jewish client king of the Herodian kingdom of Judea. He is known for his colossal building projects throughout Judea. Among these works are the rebuilding of the Second Temple#Herod's Temple, Second Temple in Jerusalem and the expansion of its base—the Western Wall being part of it.

Herodion of Patras (also Herodian or Rodion; ) has been thought by some to have been a relative (συγγενής) of Saint Paul, as in a greeting Paul calls a Herodion a ''sungenēs'' in Romans 16:11. But Paul uses the term συγγενής (sungenēs) for fellow Jews in Romans 9:3. So συγγενής (sungenēs) can mean ''relative'' even as broadly as ''fellow Jew''. According to tradition, Herodion of Patras was numbered among the Seventy Disciples and became bishop of Patras, where he suffered greatly. After beating, stoning, and stabbing him; they left him for dead, but St. Herodion arose and continued to serve the Apostles.
