Applications of myth are reviewed in order to present a basic general typology of usages: from political, scholarly, ritual, and medical applications, through incorporation in images, to linguistic and literary exploitations. In its range of function and use, Egyptian myth is similar to that of other civilizations, except that written narratives appear to have developed relatively late. The many attested forms and uses underscore its flexibility, which has entailed many interpretations starting with assessments of the Osiris myth reported by Plutarch (2nd century AD). Myths conceptualize, describe, explain, and control the world, and they were adapted to an ever-changing reality. Fonctions et usages du mythe égyptien Cet article discute les fonctions et les usages du mythe en Égypte ancienne dans une perspective comparatiste et passe en revue ses applications, afin de proposer une typologie générale de ses usages – applications politiques, érudites, rituelles et médicales, incorporation dans des images, exploitation linguistique et littéraire.

  • The Geography and History of Ancient Egypt
    05_065440 ch01.qxp 5/31/07 9:20 AM Page 9 Chapter 1 Getting Grounded: The Geography and History of Ancient Egypt In This Chapter ᮣ Exploring the landscape of Egypt ᮣ Unifying the two lands ᮣ Examining the hierarchy of Egyptian society he ancient Egyptians have gripped the imagination for centuries. Ever since TEgyptologists deciphered hieroglyphs in the early 19th century, this won- derful civilisation has been opened to historians, archaeologists, and curious laypeople. Information abounds about the ancient Egyptians, including fascinating facts on virtually every aspect of their lives – everything from the role of women, sexuality, and cosmetics, to fishing, hunting, and warfare. The lives of the ancient Egyptians can easily be categorised and pigeonholed. Like any good historian, you need to view the civilisation as a whole, and the best starting point is the origin of these amazing people. So who were the ancient Egyptians? Where did they come from? This chapter answers these questions and begins to paint a picture of the intricately organ- ised culture that developed, flourished, and finally fell along the banks of the Nile river.COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL Splashing in the Source of Life: The Nile The ancient Egyptian civilisation would never have developed if it weren’t for the Nile. The Nile was – and still is – the only source of water in this region of north Africa. Without it, no life could be supported. 05_065440 ch01.qxp 5/31/07 9:20 AM Page 10 10 Part I: Introducing the Ancient Egyptians Ancient Egypt is often called the Nile valley. This collective term refers to the fertile land situated along the banks of the river, covering an area of 34,000 square kilometres.

  • The Other Face of Augustus's Aggressive Inclination to Egypt
    Journal of Association of Arab Universities for Tourism and Hospitality Volume 12 - June 2015 - No 1 - Pages: (35 : 56) The Other Face of Augustus’s Aggressive Inclination to Egypt Wahid Omran Lecturer in Tourist Guidance Dep., Faculty of Tourism and Hotels, Fayoum University Introduction The initial attitude of Octavian against Egypt is proved by his speech to his troops on the evening before the battle of Actium. Pride in his Roman birth is compared to the despicability of an Egyptian woman as an opponent, who is supported by Dio Cassius reference.1 "Alexandrians and Egyptians- what worse or what truer name could one apply to them?- who worship reptiles and beasts as gods, who embalm their own bodies to give them semblance of immortality, who are most reckless in effrontery but most feeble in courage, and worst of all are slaves to a woman and not to a man". Since The Roman poet Virgile (70- 19 B.C), 2 the Romans opposed the animal – cult of the Egyptians, and considered these gods as monsters.3 The Egyptian character of the Augustus's opponents is related to the Augustan propaganda, represented the Augustus's war against Antony and Cleopatra not only a civil war between Rome and Egypt, but like a struggle between the West and the East. Whose Mark Antony was a traitor joined the powers of the East, whereas Octavian's victory in Actium was not only for himself, but basically for Rome and the Romans. This struggle was described in literature's documents as a civil strife or a foreign war.4 Augustus also knew he had a compensated war against Antony and Cleopatra as a republican magistrate crushing Oriental despotism.5 He is supported by the Roman society ethics and the star of the sacred Caesar, on the other hand, Antony, once a great Roman commander-in-chief, but now supported by a foreign army and followed by unnamed Egyptian spouse.6 The Romans considered the battle not only a military, but either a religious one between the Roman and the Egyptian Pantheons.

  • Demotic Dictionary Project
    oi.uchicago.edu PHILOLOGY DEMOTIC DICTIONARY PROJECT Janet H.Johnson This year, as for the past several years, the Demotic Dictionary staff concentrated on checking drafts of entries for individual letters in the Egyptian "alphabet" and preparing and entering computer scan copies of the actual Demotic words. The only student work­ ing on the project this year was Thomas Dousa, whose command of Egyptian and Greek and the extensive literature in both has allowed him to make major contributions to the checking and rewriting of first draft entries. Thanks to a very generous bequest from Professor and Mrs. George R. Hughes, we anticipate being able next year to hire a recent Ph.D. graduate as Research Associate to work full time on checking of draft and preparation of scans and copies. The checking and rewriting of first draft entries involves double checking of all in­ formation provided in the entry and the incorporation of several categories of informa­ tion that we decided to include after the first drafts had been written. Many of these categories are being added to provide social or cultural information as part of the "meaning" of a word. For example, whenever the "word" is the name of a deity, a refer­ ence is provided to every geographic location (e.g., a specific city or cemetery) with which the deity is associated in the texts of the corpus from which the Chicago Demotic Dictionary is being drawn. Similarly, whenever the "word" being discussed is the name of a geographic location, reference is made to all deities mentioned in the texts of our corpus in conjunction with that geographic location.

  • Egyptian Temples
    Originalveröffentlichung in: Christina Riggs (Hrsg.), The Oxford Handbook of Roman Egypt, Oxford 2012, S. 362-382 CHAPTER 22 EGYPTIAN TEMPLES MARTINA MINAS-NERPEL From the beginning of their rule in Egypt, the Ptolemies initiated a gigantic temple con­ struction and decoration programme, which the Roman emperors continued well into the second century ce. Temples were still decorated on a much smaller scale into the third and the beginning of the fourth centuries. The last known cartouche of a Roman emperor in a temple was inscribed under Maximinus Daia (305-13 ce) on blocks belonging to the temple of Horus at Tahta (Holbl 2000: 45 n. 177; 114, fig. 157). Otherwise, the latest evidence comes from Esna (Sauneron 1975:65-6, no. 495; 84-7, no. 503), where the temple of Khnum was still being decorated under Decius (249-51 ce). Stelae inscribed in hieroglyphs continued to be set up in Egyptian temples, for example in the Bucheum at Armant, of which the latest is dated to 340, the fifty-seventh year of the era of Diocletian (Holbl 2000:45 n. 178; Goldbrun- ner 2004:78-9,302). The temple of Isis at Philae, where hieroglyphs were carved in the tem­ ple of Harendotes as late as 394 (Winter 1982:1023), was the last to be kept open, being closed down under Justinian between 535 and 537 (Winter 1982:1026), when it was converted to a church (Dijkstra 2008). The Hellenistic and Roman periods of Egypt are often subsumed under the term ‘Graeco- Roman Egypt’. In his examination of Egyptian society under Ptolemaic and Roman rule, Naphtali Lewis (1970) correctly pointed out that this phrase should not be used to imply con­ tinuity between the two eras, since the changes in the governmental structure, social pat­ terns and politics, administration, and the economy were so fundamental in Roman times as to render the term misleading.

  • Old Kingdom Epithets and Titles Related to Activities Abroad1
    BRINGING TREASURES AND PLACING FEARS: OLD KINGDOM EPITHETS AND TITLES RELATED TO ACTIVITIES ABROAD1 Andrés Diego Espinel (Instituto de Lenguas y Culturas, CSIC, Madrid) ABSTRACT The present study analyses two epithets related to the Egyptian activities abroad: “who brings the produce from the foreign countries” (inn(.w) xr(y.w)t m xAs.wt) and its variants, and “who places the fear of Horus in the foreign countries” (dd(.w) nrw Hrw m xAs.wt). As with other Old Kingdom epithets, they have generally been overlooked as informative data on the administrative roles and vital experiences of their holders. In order to evaluate their potential significance as sources of information, both expressions are brought into connection with the titles of their holders and related biographical accounts. As a result, the epithets become complementary data that help to profile the actual functions and actions of these officials. For the sake of completion, certain titles related to the acquisition of intelligence are also included in this study. Moreover, further thoughts on the possible origins and values of Old Kingdom epithets are also presented RESUMEN El presente trabajo estudia dos epítetos asociados a las actividades egipcias en el extranjero: “quien trae los productos de las tierras extranjeras” (inn(.w) xr(y.w)t m xAs.wt) y otras expresiones similares, y “quien pone el terror que inspira Horus en las tierras extranjeras” (dd(.w) nrw Hrw m xAs.wt). Como otros epítetos del Reino Antiguo, éstos han sido habitualmente infravalorados como información efectiva sobre las funciones administrativas y las vivencias de quienes los detentaron.
