Hamant, also known as Haman, was a grand vizier to King Ahasuerus (Xerxes I) in Shushan, the Persian capital around 465 B.C. He was a descendant of the Ammonite Ham. Haman plotted to destroy the Jews because of Mordecai's refusal to bow before him.

Another Haman (or Haman Rishon) is known from the Talmud as the high priest during the reign of King Yannai II in Judea around 100 B.C. Haman instigated a campaign of persecution against the Pharisees, who were then a small sect of Jewish scholars.
