Description
Who was Iddo?
Iddo was the grandfather of the prophet Zechariah, who prophesied in Judah after the Babylonian exile (Zec.1.1,7). Iddo is described as a priest and prophet who, along with Haggai, encouraged the people to resume the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem (Ezr.5.1; 6.14). His prophetic ministry played a significant role in motivating the Jewish community to complete the temple reconstruction during the reign of the Persian king Darius.
Relations
Direct connections
Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.

Places
Where this happens
A person is placed by the events they take part in, and an event has to clear three things to place them: it must say where it happened, that place must be one the gazetteer can put a coordinate on, and the verse must report it rather than foretell, command or ask it. Nothing anchored here clears all three. Where the text names a setting no gazetteer surveys — a vineyard, a palace, a plot of ground — it is left off rather than guessed at; where a place is named only in a prophecy, the map does not draw what was said to be coming as though it had happened; and a place reached only through a relation is not inherited, because standing beside somebody is not being somewhere.
No verse Atlas has read as a report puts this person anywhere.

The pattern
Where Iddo is named
Every book of the corpus in the order it is read, each as wide as the chapters it holds. A bar is the verses of that book which write the name, and the flat stretches are as much of the answer as the bars.
4 verses across 2 of 66 books; 64 write the name nowhere. Named in Ezra (2) and Zechariah (2).
