Vaak verbindt Cox zijn ervaringen met Bijbelse verhalen en mythen uit de oudheid, waardoor zij de anekdotiek van het louter subjectieve overstijgen.

De ets \u003cem\u003eHet volk jubelt\u003c/em\u003e maakt deel uit van een reeks etsen gewijd aan de geschiedenis van Judith en Holofernes, een tragisch verhaal over liefde en dood waarin, net zoals bij Orpheus en Eurydice, net als in de \u003cem\u003eIllias\u003c/em\u003e, de vrouw de oorzaak is van conflict en rampspoed.
