Hellenism And Hebraism In Egypt Under The Ptolemies (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161507027)

Hellenism And Hebraism In Egypt Under The Ptolemies is a book written by S. Rappoport that explores the cultural and religious dynamics of ancient Egypt during the Ptolemaic period. The book focuses on the interaction between two dominant cultural forces in Egypt at the time: Hellenism and Hebraism. Hellenism refers to the influence of Greek culture on Egypt, which was introduced by Alexander the Great and his successors. Hebraism, on the other hand, refers to the influence of Jewish culture, which had a long history in Egypt dating back to biblical times. The book examines how these two cultural forces interacted with each other and with the native Egyptian culture. It explores the ways in which Greek and Jewish ideas and practices were adopted and adapted by the Egyptians, and how they influenced the development of Egyptian culture and religion. The book also delves into the political and social context of the Ptolemaic period, including the reigns of the various Ptolemaic kings and the relationship between the Greeks, Jews, and Egyptians. It discusses the role of religion in shaping political and social structures, as well as the impact of cultural exchange on artistic and literary production. Overall, Hellenism And Hebraism In Egypt Under The Ptolemies provides a comprehensive and nuanced analysis of the cultural and religious dynamics of ancient Egypt during a pivotal period in its history.THIS 18 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: History of Egypt Part 10, by S.
