My first a well known character on ancient history’s page

Listen in the reader

My first a well known character on ancient history’s page; His wooden effigy is sold for youth of tender age. My second ’s very wicked, and Holy Writ declares Of those who made my second and the punishing she bears. My whole hangs from the branching trees, Swayed lightly by a passing breeze.
