It aims to investigate some aspects of the cultural consequences of the settlement of the Greeks in Egypt during the Hellenistic period, with a focus on the reception and reuse of their literature, through a discussion of papyrological material, archaeological evidence, and literary sources. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe essays are divided in three thematic sections. The first investigates the dichotomy of persistence and evolution, as reflected by iconography, planning of urban spaces and literary sources. The second section offers new reflections on a long debated problem: the meaning of 'ethnicity' and the dynamics of 'ethnic' interactions between Egyptians and Greeks, in literature and documents. The third explores some moments of the reception and diffusion of the Greek literature in Egypt, juxtaposing the discussion of specific, extraordinary texts and more general surveys of evidence which aim to explain some general patterns. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMixing case studies and comprehensive overviews, the volume aims to offer an updated, multifaceted representation of complex phaenomena which can be understood only going beyond disciplinary boundaries. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lucio del Corso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3111334546\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783111334547\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/14\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Lucio del Corso","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46110884069631,"sku":"9783111334547","price":120.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e8646316-51dd-471c-8e39-20d817d22816.jpg?v=1725470048","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/greek-culture-in-hellenistic-egypt-lucio-del-corso-9783111334547","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
