{"product_id":"hellenistic-egyptian-deities-august-leser-9781518884092","title":"Hellenistic Egyptian Deities","description":"There was much continuity in Hellenistic religion: the Greek gods continued to be worshipped, and the same rites were practiced as before. Change came from the addition of new religions from other countries, including the Egyptian deities Isis and Serapis, and the Syrian Gods of Atargatis and of Hadad, which provided a new outlet for people seeking fulfillment in both the present life and the afterlife. The worship of Hellenistic rulers was also a feature of this period, most notably in Egypt, where the Ptolemies adopted earlier pharaonic practice, and established themselves as god-kings. Elsewhere rulers might receive divine status without the full status of a God.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e August Leser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1518884091\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781518884092\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/02\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 138\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.02h x 8.50w x 0.30d","brand":"August Leser","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46747650359551,"sku":"9781518884092","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_299a023a-8778-4e57-911c-31c435fea72c.jpg?v=1743584331","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hellenistic-egyptian-deities-august-leser-9781518884092","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
