Book Overview
Belteshazzar or The Heroic Jew: A Dramatic Poem is a work of poetry written by Thomas Harrison and published in 1727. The poem is a retelling of the biblical story of Belshazzar, the Babylonian king who saw the writing on the wall foretelling his downfall.

It features a cast of characters that includes Belshazzar, Belteshazzar, Daniel, and various Babylonian courtiers.
