| book description |

Why Sesostris? Why does the classical antiquity tell stories about this Egyptian hero king of the second millennium BC? On which basis? The contributions of this conference volume try to systematically answer the question how these narratives come into being and grow. It is not a single historical king Sesostris. Rather the literary tradition of two millennia augments the story with the later Sheshonq kings, makes Sesostris the international hero of demotic narratives and finally leads to the Greek Sesonchosis Romance which itself is widely received. All this takes place in an international cultural context. Warum gerade Sesostris? Warum werden ausgerechnet Ã¼ber diesen Ã¤gyptischen KÃ¶nig des frÃ¼hen zweiten Jahrtausends v. Chr. in der Klassischen Antike Heldengeschichten erzÃ¤hlt? Auf welcher Grundlage? Die BeitrÃ¤ge dieses Tagungsbandes gehen systematisch der Frage nach, wie diese ErzÃ¤hlungen entstehen und wachsen. Es ist nicht ein einziger literarischer KÃ¶nigs Sesostris. Vielmehr reichert die literarische Tradition Ã¼ber zwei Jahrtausende den Stoff um die spÃ¤teren Scheschonq-KÃ¶nige an, macht Sesostris zu einem internationalen Helden demotischer ErzÃ¤hlungen und fÃ¼hrt zum griechischen Sesonchosis-Roman. All dies geschieht in einem internationalen kulturellen Rahmen.
