The Greek face of Roman Egypt
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- "The Greek Face of Roman Egypt" offers two perspectives on cultural translation between Egypt, Greece, and Rome: one grounded in the Egyptian articulation of Egyptian culture under new forms of Roman imperial control, the other in the alternatively optimistic and world-weary Roman responses to a Principate whose contours were explored and explained through Egypt. The two halves of this dissertation are devoted to the explanatory power of two marginalized literary traditions: first, Egyptians' explanations of Egyptian culture, and, second, those Greek and Roman authors who looked to Egyptian space and Egyptian people to justify the new institutions of the Principate. Both traditions can enrich discussions of Egypt's presence in Roman literature and material culture, which have overemphasized Rome's tendency either to exoticize or marginalize Egypt.
