Survey of fictional works on the Queen of Sheba.

Overview

The Queen's image inspired medieval Christian mystical works in which she embodied divine wisdom, as well as Islamic art in Turkey and Persia, Handel's oratorio Solomon, and numerous films and novels. Her story is still told across Africa and Arabia, and the Ethiopian tales are narrated in the holy book the Kebra Nagast.
