Judith is a literary character, the protagonist of the Book of Judith.

Overview

According to the book of Judith, Judith was a wealthy and beautiful widow, who freed her people by killing Nebuchadnezzar's general Holofernes who was about to invade the land of Israel.

Scholarly research focuses on the study of the Book of Judith. The suggestion that Judith could be a fictional counterpart of the Hasmonean Queen Salome Alexandra, facing the invasion of the Armenian King Tigranes the Great would give some historical relevance to the character.
