Scholarship in the Arts talk: Dr. Frances Pownall

Oct. 4, 5:30 p.m.

Dr. Frances Pownall, University of Alberta, will give a public talk titled Invasion of the Body-Snatcher? Ptolemy I's "Quest for Legitimacy." "Ptolemy I, aptly described as a "canny survivor," took advantage of the chaos caused by the sudden death of Alexander the Great to seize control of the wealthy and powerful kingdom of Egypt, and found a dynasty there that lasted nearly 300 years. In the wake of his usurpation of power, Ptolemy's "quest for legitimacy" colours virtually every aspect of his long and successful reign. An overview of how and why Ptolemy created an official ideology that served not only to connect his rule to Alexander the Great but also to justify his continued control over Egypt will be given." The talk will take place in AS326. The talk, part of the Atlantic Classical Association Speaker Tour, is sponsored by Scholarship in the Arts and hosted by the Grenfell Classics program. A reception will be held prior to the talk at 4:30pm in the Upper Atrium.
