This collective monograph offers a detailed analysis of sources related to the prehistory, course, and consequences of a little-known episode in the history of ancient Egypt and the Near East: the usurpation of power in Egypt by the military commander Amasis from the 26th Dynasty king Apries (570–567 BCE) and the intervention of the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar II (567 BCE) in their conflict.

The significance of this episode as perceived by its contemporaries and subsequent generations is examined, and the continuity of its depiction from antiquity to the Middle Ages is demonstrated.

This book is intended for researchers, university professors, undergraduate and graduate students specializing in the history of ancient and medieval Egypt and the Near East, and anyone interested in ancient history and culture.
