The Great Oasis of Egypt provides the first full study of the Dakhla and Kharga Oases in antiquity, written by participants in several of the current archaeological projects in this region. The oases were closely tied to Egypt and to each other, but not always easy to control, and their agricultural productivity varied with climatic conditions. The book discusses the oases'' geology, water resources, history, administration, economy, trade connections, taxation, urbanism, religion, burial practices, literary culture, and art. New evidence for human health and illness from the cemeteries is presented along with a synthesis on the use of different types of cloth in burial. A particular emphasis is placed on pottery, with its ability to tell us both about how people lived and how far imports and exports can be seen from the shapes and fabrics, and both literature and art suggest full participation in the culture of Greco-Roman Egypt.

Que viennent faire les rayons solaires du dieu grec Helios sur le front d'un dieu crocodile egyptien ? Cette question est au point de depart d'une enquete au c ur de la plasticite du systeme polytheiste de l'Egypte greco-romaine. Parcourant le labyrinthe des diverses communautes et croyances grecques et egyptiennes, Gaelle Tallet utilise le fil d'Ariane de la production des images religieuses, reponses a de nouveaux besoins et de nouvelles perceptions du divin, et ouvre les portes des ateliers ou elles ont ete concues, commandees et faconnees. La Splendeur des dieux propose une reevaluation du role des clerges et des artistes indigenes dans l'elaboration d'un hellenisme proprement egyptien, qui leur a permis de promouvoir et preserver des traditions millenaires. Why are the rays of the Greek god Helios on the forehead of a crocodile-headed Egyptian deity? Navigating the maze of Greek and Egyptian communities and creeds, Gaelle Tallet investigates the plasticity of material culture in the polytheistic context of Graeco-Roman Egypt. Using the Ariadne's thread of the manufacturing of new images, suitable to new needs and new understandings of the divine, La Splendeur des dieux opens the doors of the workshops where these images were designed, ordered and crafted. Tallet offers a full re-appraisal of the cultural balance of powers in Graeco-Roman Egypt, depicting the indigenous clergies and artists as integratedactors of an Egyptian Hellenicity that helped promote and preserve their millenaries-old traditions.
