During the Ramesside Period, the ancient Egyptians composed stories set two or even three centuries earlier. Known by their modern titles, 'The Quarrel of Apepi and Seqenenre', 'The Capture of Joppa', 'Thutmose III in Asia', and 'The Libyan Battle Story', each tale uses historically-attested figures within a plausible, yet fictional, narrative. Plot elements range from a witty exchange of letters to the first attested stratagem in world military history.Egyptian literatureTranslations into EnglishHistorical fiction, EgyptianHistory and criticismEgyptCivilizationTo 332 B.CEgyptian literatureHistorical fiction, EgyptianHistory and criticism.893/.1HIS002030LCO003000bisacshDarnell Colleen1268405MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996205778303316Imagining the past2983155UNISA
