- W4289718831 abstract "By the end of the 280s, there were three major players in the eastern Mediterranean: Antigonus in Macedon, Antiochus I in Asia, and the Ptolemies in Egypt. Antigonus and Antiochus came to an agreement, leaving the Ptolemies as Antigonus’s main enemy. They had already expanded far beyond Egypt. Even much of the coastline of Asia Minor was in their hands, and they consistently demonstrated their hostility toward Macedon. I set the background to this hostility with the intervention of Ptolemy I in Greek affairs in 309, and show how a more restricted policy of interference was followed by Ptolemy II. I discuss Ptolemy II’s marriage to his full sister, Arsinoe II, and his subsequent deification of himself and Arsinoe as the Sibling Deities. I show how this became a major plank in his propaganda attempt to portray Egyptian rule as the inevitable destination for all Greeks everywhere, and how this message was reinforced by a festival Ptolemy put on in the late 270s, the most elaborate and expensive the Mediterranean world had ever seen, and by the famous Museum of Alexandria with its library, supposed to hold all Greek literature that had ever been written." @default.
