Description

An Egyptian priest that flourished in the third century BC, Manetho wrote ‘Aegyptiaca’ (History of Egypt), which provided a detailed history of his homeland to the Hellenic world. Despite the fact that his original texts are now in large part lost, important remains have survived, transmitted to us as fragments from several ancient authors. For plenty of centuries, before hieroglyphics might be read, Manetho’s writings were one of the vital chief sources of information on Egyptian history. Delphi’s Ancient Classics series provides eReaders with the wisdom of the Classical world, with both English translations and the original Latin and Greek texts. This comprehensive eBook presents Manetho’s complete extant works, with illustrations, informative introductions and the standard Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)
