History of Greek and Roman Egypt: Encyclopedia II - Greek Anthology - Literary history of the Greek Anthology

The art of occasional poetry had been cultivated in Greece from an early period,--less, however, as the vehicle of personal feeling, than as the recognized commemoration of remarkable individuals or events, on sepulchral monuments and votive offerings: Such compositions were termed epigrams, i.e. inscriptions. The modern use of the word is a departure from the original sense, which simply indicated that the composition was intended to be engraved or inscribed. Such a composition must necessarily be brief, and the restraints attendant ...

The ancient Hebrew name (land of) "Mitzrayim," or (in more poetic style) "Maẓor," is Semitic ("Miṣri" is the earliest Babylonian form) and may have some connection with that of the neighboring Muṣri (see above).The Bible calls Egypt also "land of Ham" (Ps. cv. 23, 27; comp. Ps. lxxviii. 51, cvi. 22), or contemptuously "Rahab," i.e., "boasting monster." The fertility of the country is mentioned in Gen. xiii. 10; Ex. xvi. 3; and Num. xi. 5 (see Deut. xi. 10 on the necessity of laborious irrigation). According to the Old Testament, ...

At one time he had resolved to burn all the Jews, a ditch having been dug for that purpose; but at the last moment he repented, and instead ex ...

History of Greek and Roman Egypt: Encyclopedia II - Melkite Greek Catholic Church - History

The Melkite Greek Catholic Church has its origins among the various Christian communities of the Levant and Egypt. The church's history and its relation to other churches can be seen in three defining moments. The church's leadership was vested in three of the ancient patriarchates: Alexandria, Antioch and Jerusalem. The first defining moment was the socio-political fallout in the wake of the Council of Chalcedon. Fifth-century Middle-Eastern Christian society became sharply divided between those who did and those who did not accept t ...

History of Greek and Roman Egypt: Encyclopedia II - History of early Arab Egypt - Period of Burji Mamelukes

The Ottoman Sultan Selim I defeated the Mamluks and captured Cairo on January 20, 1517, transferring the center of power to Istanbul. However, the Ottoman Empire retained the Mamluks as the Egyptian ru ...

History of Greek and Roman Egypt: Encyclopedia II - History of Greece - Greek Dark Ages

The Greek Dark Ages (ca. 1200 BC–800 BC) refers to the period of Greek prehistory from the presumed Dorian invasion and end of the Mycenaean civilization in the 11th century BC to the rise of the first Greek city-states in the 9th century BC and the epics of Homer and earliest writings in alphabetic Greek in the 8th century BC.

History of Greek and Roman Egypt: Encyclopedia II - History of Greece - Roman Period

Militarily Greece itself declined to the point that the Romans conquered the land (168 BC onwards), though Greek culture would in turn conquer Roman life. Although the period of Roman rule in Greece is conventionally dated as starting from the sacking of Corinth by the Roman Lucius Mummius in 146 BC, Macedonia had already come under Roman control with the defeat of its king, Perseus, by the Roman Aemilius Paullus at Pydna in 168 BC. The Romans divided the region into four smaller republics, and in 146 BC Macedonia officially became a Roman p ...
