As the founder of the longest-lasting of all the Hellenistic kingdoms, not only was
Ptolemy I an able soldier and ruler, he was also an historian and, in Egyptian eyes,
a living god. His own inclination and experience facilitated continuous acts of self-creation
in a variety of forms, whether literary, dynastic, artistic, or political. His work
on Alexander and his campaigns was used by the later Alexander historians, and was
one of Arrian's major sources for his Anabasis. In the pages of his own history, Ptolemy
constructed a self-portrait characterized by military courage and deep friendship
with Alexander. As ruler of the Egyptian kingdom, Ptolemy experienced an elevated
model of kingship very different from the Macedonian one: he consciously embraced
the divinity of the Pharaoh, a construct that had little to do with the real man who
wore the crowns. This book, written by field experts in numismatics, gender, warfare,
historiography, Egyptology and religion, examine the many ways in which Alexander
the Great's most successful successor consciously made his own legacy
