[Avodah] The Paytan of the Ten Martyrs

[Meir Rabi]

R Zev Sero explained that - None of this is supposed to be just or
legitimate; the paytan is just showing the wickedness of the king, that not
only did he kill these 10 tzadikim, but he dressed the murder up as some
sort of mitzvah.

 

I think Rabbenu Bachya suggests otherwise. See end of VaYeChi and in
Vayeshev [? I think]
