The House o f the Eagle chronicles the golden years of the first three Ptolem ies - the shrewd Ptolemy Soter, the luxury-loving Ptolemy Philade lphus, the empire-building Ptolemy Euergets - and their tragic qu eens, pampered mistresses and turbulent children. Public triumph is soon replaced by private tragedy and the Ptolemies resort to m atricide, patricide, fratricide, infanticide, murder and incestuo us marriages.</p> ., Faber and Faber, 2004, 2.5, Great Britain: Thames and Hudson Ltd. Paperback. The Egyptians. Small mark to back cover from removal of old label. Ancient Egypt may have been, in the words of a famous epigram, 'the gift of the Nile', but Egypt's civilization was no less the product of her god incarnate, the pharaoh. These twin themes - the overwhelming inportance of the annual inundation of the Nile and the rise and fall over three thousand years of the power of the divine king - provides the unifying thread running through Cyril Aldred's classic text. The dating has been revised throughout to accord with the most up-to-date scholarship, and many new photographs have been incorporated. The biblography has been revised and expanded, and a complete chronology and list of kings is included for the first time.
