The Egyptian Priests of the Graeco-Roman Period
An Analysis on the Basis of the Egyptian and Graeco-Roman Literary and Paraliterary Sources
Marina Escolano-Poveda's book explores the pivotal role of high-ranking Egyptian priests in shaping Egyptian intellectual culture during the Graeco-Roman period. It contrasts their self-representation in temple texts with external perceptions, challenging existing models and offering new insights into their influence on philosophical, scientific, and literary developments.
