Zusammenfassung:This volume examines four tales within the corpus of ancient Egyptian literature. 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
