Publication : Oxford : Oxford University Press, 2016
Description matérielle : 1 vol. (xiii-393 p.) : ill. ; 23 cm
Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index. - "Contact and interaction between Greek and Egyptian culture can be traced in different
forms over more than a millennium : from the sixth century BC, when Greeks visited
Egypt for the sake of tourism or trade, through to the Hellenistic period, when Egypt
was ruled by the Macedonian-Greek Ptolemaic dynasty who encouraged a mixed Greek and
Egyptian culture, and even more intensely in the Roman Empire, when Egypt came to
be increasingly seen as a place of wonder and a source of magic and mystery. This
volume addresses the historical interaction between the ancient Greek and Egyptian
civilizations in these periods, focusing in particular on literature and textual culture.
Comprising fourteen chapters written by experts in the field, each contribution examines
such cultural interaction in some form, whether influence between the two cultures,
or the emergence of bicultural and mixed phenomena within Egypt. A number of the chapters
draw on newly discovered Egyptian texts, such as the Book of Thoth and the Book of
the Temple, and among the wide range of topics covered are religion (such as prophecy,
hymns, and magic), philosophy, historiography, romance, and translation"
