"The eighteen papers included in this volume are the result of almost two decades of study of the history and historiography of one such encounter, that between the Greeks and the civilizations of ancient northeast Africa, Egypt, and Nubia. The topics dealt with in these papers span almost two millennia from the eighth century B.C. to the ninth century A.D. and include subjects as diverse as the origin of Greek Egyptology and the organization of the ancient Nubian slave trade. Common to all of them, however, are two central concerns: determination of the basic character of Greek historiography concerning the civilization of the Nile Valley and consideration of how best to exploit the fragmentary extant classical sources to reconstruct the history of Greek relations with the peoples of ancient Egypt and Nubia" (preface).
