Beskrivelse

The goddess Nemesis was brought to Egypt by the Greeks and her cult flourished during the Roman period. This detailed study examines the archaeological and material evidence for the cult across Egypt, attempting to identify the iconographic characteristics associated with Nemesis. Beginning with an assessment of the evidence from the Ptolemaic period, Lichocka continues with the varied forms that Nemesis took during the Hellenistic years, including her representations as a griffin and as a winged goddess. Further sections discuss the statues identified as Nemesis and catalogues the temples which demonstrate the spread of the cult from Alexandria. Lichocka also considers the roles assigned to Nemesis which centred around her military, magical and cosmological properties. The book concludes with a catalogue of the evidence, including coins, inscriptions, sculptures, reliefs and lamps, most of which are illustrated in high-quality black and white photographs. French text.
