Interaction between Greece and Egypt began in the 2nd millennium BC and extended until the late 4th century BC when Alexander Macedonian rule in Egypt. Relations were particularly close during the 7th and 6th centuries BC when trade between Egypt and the Aegean revived and significant numbers of Greeks not only visited but also settled in Egypt for the first time. Scholarship has mostly focused on possible Egyptian influence on Archaic Greek culture rather Greek reactions to Egypt. This paper will examine the views of Hecataeus of Miletus, the author of the first Greek account of Egypt, concerning Egypt and its relation

On several occasions the Phrygian King Midas was portrayed with donkey’s ears in Greek literature and art. There is no text that offers a plausible explanation of Midas’ strange appearance and later commentators provide many competing stories to account for his animal ears. A new interpretation can be offered on the grounds of a pre-Phrygian Anatolian tradition. The revised reading of the Luwian hieroglyphs on the so-called ‘Tarkondemos Seal’ reveals the donkey as an old Anatolian royal symbol. The Phrygians might possibly have adopted this kind of symbolism which later was lost or misunderstood. Greeks who provided their own interpretations of Midas’ ass’s ears only re-interpreted the original myth creating several aitia. Anatolian and Aegean Bronze Age survivals in Phrygian culture are being discussed as well.

The focus of this paper is, first, the reading of the toponym in Nabonidus Chronicle II 16 of which only the first character is preserved, and, second, an historical reassessment according to which the territory loosely controlled by a Median ‘confederation’ cannot be called an ‘empire’. Contrary to the generally held view the first character cannot be read as ‘LU’ which would require us to restore the text as lu-[ud-di], i.e. Lydia. Collation shows beyond doubt the character represents ‘Ú’ and the only plausible restoration is ú-[ras-†u], i.e. Urartu. Urartu was therefore not destroyed by the Medes at the end of the 7th century BC but continued to exist as an independent political entity until the mid-6th century BC. Thus Nabonidus Chronicle II 16 shows that it was the conquest by Cyrus the Great which brought about the end of Urartu. Introduction In 1988, 1994 and 1995, the late Heleen Sancisi-Weerdenburg questioned with arguments of considerable weight, the existence of a Median ‘empire’ as a political entity with structures comparable with those of the so called Neo-Assyrian, NeoBabylonian or the Achaemenid ‘empires’.1 She called for a methodologically fresh approach, cast doubt on the general validity of our most important source, i.e. Herodotus’ Medikos Logos, and pointed out gaps in the non-classical sources, primarily for the first half of the 6th century BC. She also considered anthropological models of state formation and conceptual systems used in the social sciences.
