Description
Ancient Egyptian history in Greek. Manetho was an Egyptian priest who lived in the 3rd century BC and wrote extensively on history and religion. His works, all in Greek, cover topics such as the history of Egypt, Egyptian religion, festivals, ancient rituals, incense production, and criticisms of Herodotus. This volume contains eight surviving works by Manetho, including the doubtful Kings of Thebes and the Old Chronicle. These writings provide valuable insights into Ancient Egyptian culture and society during this period. Although only quoted by other writers, they remain an important source of information on the subject.
