Let me remind you the names of Ptahemdjedhuty and Khakheperreseneb.
Is there any here like Hordedef? Is there another like Imhotep? There have been none among our family like Neferti and Khety, their leader. These learned scribes were said to have foretold the future and their sublime writings caused them to be remembered: One of the texts from a private library at the village of Deir el-Medina near present-day Luxor commemorates eight 'great' authors of the past. The papyrus is also unique in attributing authorship to the scribe Inena.Īchieving long-lasting fame was a hallmark of greatness, though authorship was rarely attributed in pre-classical antiquity. Highly entertaining and sophisticated, the tale is one of the most famous Egyptian compositions that became popular in New Kingdom Egypt (1550–1070 BC). The story has variously been interpreted as a fairy tale, a historical allegory and a political satire. He elevates his brother, Anubis, to succeed him, overcoming the catastrophes that had beset the pair. Bata is reborn, now as her son, and becomes king of Egypt.
A splinter from the tree flies into her mouth, 'she swallowed it and in a moment she became pregnant'. Bata's wife orders the tree to be cut down. To win her over Bata assumes a sequence of different forms, the last being a Persea tree. Unfortunately she rejects him in favour of the king. Meanwhile the gods have fashioned a wife for Bata. Anubis later discovers his wife's disloyalty and kills her, and the brothers are reunited. Believing his wife, Anubis initially turns against his brother and forces him to leave the family. Upset by the humiliation of his refusal, she claims that Bata attacked her. Their pleasant lifestyle is disrupted when the wife of Anubis unsuccessfully tries to seduce her brother-in-law. It begins by presenting an idyllic household consisting of Anubis, his wife and his brother, Bata. The Tale of the Two Brothers (and a flirtatious wife) features two semi-divine protagonists and their adventures.
