Description:
Ptolemaic rule in Egypt began with the death of Alexander in 323 BC and continued until the tragic deaths of Antony and Cleopatra in 30 BC. Gunther Holbl provides an integrated and compelling narrative of the political and religious history of these three centuries. He writes as an authority both on Egyptian religion and archaeology and on the demotic texts, as well as on the Greek sources. His work commands the whole field of Ptolemaic history and encompasses the most up-to-date findings of scholars in several fields and has occasioned many revisions of long held views.
