The reader will find a first-class philological and cultural study that unravels how a Greek intellectual of the 2nd century AD interpreted and transmitted the mysteries of Isis and Osiris. It is a critical and scholarly edition that revises and updates knowledge on this fundamental text, marking the first time in over two decades that a competent specialist has thoroughly examined its Egyptian content.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJean-Fabrice Nardelli takes up the analysis of the Plutarchan treatise \u003cem\u003eDe Iside et Osiride\u003c\/em\u003e, focusing specifically on its Egyptological core, which had not been rigorously examined by a specialist since the year 2000. The work breaks down how Plutarch, from his position as a Greek philosopher and scholar, compiled and reinterpreted Egyptian traditions regarding the myth of Osiris, his murder at the hands of Seth, the search and resurrection carried out by Isis, and the final judgment of the god. The study addresses the Egyptian sources to which Plutarch may have had access, the parallels with hieroglyphic and demotic documentation, and the way in which the Hellenistic author adapted these beliefs to his own Platonic philosophical framework. The result is an in-depth investigation that clarifies the layers of Greek and Egyptian interpretation present in the text.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Topics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePhilological and Egyptological analysis of Plutarch's \u003cem\u003eDe Iside et Osiride\u003c\/em\u003e treatise.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eGreek interpretation of ancient Egyptian mythology and religion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eStudy of classical Egyptian sources on the myth of Osiris and Isis.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCritical review of modern scholarship on the Plutarchan text.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRelationship between Platonic thought and Egyptian religious traditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is intended for specialists in classical philology, Egyptology, and the history of ancient religions.
