A few cellotape stains to inner covers else Book is VG.; 1.25 x 9.5 x 6.5 Inches; 376 pages; The city of Memphis on the Nile which had often served as capital in the long period preceding Egypt's conquest by Alexander the Great became the country's "second city" following the founding of Alexandria. Drawing on archaeological findings and on an unusual combination of Greek and Egyptian evidence Dorothy Thompson examines the city's economic life and the character of its multi-racial society in the era from Alexander to Augustus. Memphis under the Ptolemies will interest students of intercultural relations and will be essential reading for Egyptologists papyrologists and historians of the Hellenistic world including those concerned with religion. The relationship of the native population with the Greek-speaking immigrants is illustrated in Thompson's analysis of the position of Memphite priests within the Ptolemaic state. Egyptians continued to control mummification and the cult of the dead; the undertakers of the Memphite necropolis were barely touched by things Greek. The cult of the living Apis bull also remained primarily Egyptian; yet on death the bull deified as Osorapis became Sarapis for the Greeks. Within this god's sacred enclosure the Sarapieion is found a strange amalgam of Greek and Egyptian cultures. . 1989. 0691035938 . Princeton University Press hardcover

2000rif. 5992University of Toronto Press. Near Fine with no dust jacket. Hardcover. Very slight shelfwear else Fine.; Phoenix Supplementary Volume; 300 pages; Scholars have long known that the Egyptian Ptolemaic monarchy underwent a transformation between 323 and 30 BC. The queens of that dynasty started as subordinates of the kings but ended as their superiors. Exactly when and how this change occurred has proven problematic for modern scholars. R. A. Hazzard argues that this change was put in motion by Ptolemy II who glorified his sister ArsinoT and made acceptable a civilian style of kingship based on piety towards his real and mythical ancestors. Ptolemy's support and elevation of his sister inspired the queens of the line to assert themselves at the expense of their male associates. The process culminated in the absolute rule of Kleopatra VII after 47 BC. Hazzard presents a clear argument based on the numismatic epigraphical papyrological literary and historical sources. . 2000. 0802043135 . University of Toronto Press hardcover
