Some links for the mythical King Solomon: first, a page about King Solomon’s reign – Israel’s Golden Age. Next, from an online book about the Legends of the Jews, here are the Legends of King Solomon. Including the Jewish take on Solomon as a master of demons.
There are plenty of sites that treat David and Solomon as semi-historical, or that explain at length that they were “no more historical than King Arthur”. I’m actually interested in a version of Solomon that IS as mythical as King Arthur – and a Jerusalem as fabulous as Camelot.
