Document Details : Title: 'Nectanébo-le-faucon' et la dynastie lagide Author(s): GORRE, Gilles Journal: Ancient Society Volume: 39 Date: 2009 Pages: 55-69 DOI: 10.2143/AS.39.0.2042605 Abstract : The cult of Nectanebo II is well documented in the Ptolemaic period. As is clear from Egyptian source material, the clergy of his cult functioned continuously from the XXXth Dynasty to the end of the 3rd century BC at least. In the Alexander romance Nectanebo also appears as father of the conqueror. The present paper investigates the link between the memory of the king and the Ptolemaic royal cult. |
