	AMASIS - LoveToKnow Article on AMASIS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		AMASIS I., the founder of the XVIIIth dynasty, is famous for his successful wars against the Hyksos princes who still ruled in the north-east of the Delta (see EGYPT: History, sect, i.)
		An inscription confirms the fact of the struggle between the native and the foreign soldiery, and proves that Apries was killed and honorably buried in the 3rd year of Amasis.
		To the Greeks Amasis assigned the commercial colony of Naucratis on the Canopic branch of the Nile, and when the temple of Delphi was burnt he contributed looo talents to the rebuilding.

	Egypt: Amasis, the Last Great Egyptian Pharaoh
		Amasis who was probably the 5th ruler of Egypt during the 26th Dynasty, has been called the last great Egyptian Pharaoh.
		Actually, Amasis, as a general in the Egyptian army, was sent to put down the revolt of the machimoi (the native Egyptian soldiers), but instead the soldiers proclaimed him as Pharaoh.
		But, Amasis was not willing to push the Greeks too far because he needed their alliance against the expanding threat of the Persians, as well as an attempted invasion by the Chaldaeans.

		The fact that the chiefs-of works Khnemibre and his father are namesakes of king Amasis, and that their names are orthographically identical to those of the king, including the use of the cartouche, suggests the possibility that the architect Khnemibre was the son of king Amasis, i.e.
		Amasis was a pharaoh, the uncontested ruler of all Egypt.
		Amasis use of these titles is an admission that he was not the king par excellence within Egypt, and that, at a point of time well into his "reign", he served another master.

	History of Iran: Histories of Herodotus, Book 3
		Cambyses, by the advice of a certain Egyptian, who was angry with Amasis for having torn him from his wife and children and given him over to the Persians, had sent a herald to Amasis to ask his daughter in marriage.
		When the message came, Amasis, who much dreaded the power of the Persians, was greatly perplexed whether to give his daughter or no; for that Cambyses did not intend to make her his wife, but would only receive her as his concubine, he knew for certain.
		Amasis took this woman, and decking her out with gold and costly garments, sent her to Persia as if she had been his own child.

		In turn Amasis' death, which brought an end to the combined 26th/27th Saite/Persian dynasty, precedes immediately the 28th dynasty of Amyrtaeus, whom Diodorus Siculus refers to as "Psammetichus, king of the Egyptians, son of the famous Psammetichus." Clearly the beginning and end of the reign of Ahmose-sa-Neith are critical for our revision.
		And Apries is not the opponent of Amasis.
		Perhaps Amasis' conflict with the ruling Persians was precipitated by the favorable treatment he afforded the captive Apries, or by his refusal to turn Apries over to the Persians.

		When thinking of the Amasis Painter, one tends to think first of his best-known and most publicised pieces: the neck amphora in Paris with a relaxed Dionysos receiving two maenads and their offerings; and, on its obverse, the much more sombre scene of Athena face to face with her uncle Poseidon.
		First, that inscriptions, rare in the Amasis Painter's work, are most frequently found on works which are also unusual in their potter-work: unusual variants of common types (amphorae of 'special shape') or shapes so far unique in the painter's work (cup-skyphos and tripod-pyxis).
		Bothmer, Amasis 200 suggests that the hen held by the seated man under the handle may be her 'prize'.

		The above-mentioned Amasis was the Egyptian king against whom Cambyses, son of Cyrus, made his expedition; and with him went an army composed of the many nations under his rule, among them being included both Ionic and Aeolic Greeks.
		Next to them came Psammenitus' son, and two thousand Egyptians of the same age with him- all of them having ropes round their necks and bridles in their mouths- and they too passed by on their way to suffer death for the murder of the Mytilenaeans who were destroyed, with their vessel, in Memphis.
		When Amasis had read the letter of Polycrates, he perceived that it does not belong to man to save his fellow-man from the fate which is in store for him; likewise he felt certain that Polycrates would end ill, as he prospered in everything, even finding what he had thrown away.

	Herodotus on Apries
		Amasis met the Egyptians and he exhorted them to desist; but as he spoke an Egyptian put a helmet on his head from behind, saying it was the token of royalty.
		But when in spite of this Patarbemis insisted that Amasis obey the king's summons and go to him, Amasis answered that he had for some time been getting ready to do just that, and Apries would not find fault with him, for he would come himself and bring others with him.
		So when Apries leading his foreign mercenaries, and Amasis at the head of the army of Egyptians, in their approach to one another had reached the city of Momemphis, they engaged in battle: and although the foreign mercenaries fought well, yet being much inferior in number they were defeated because of this.

	Herodotus' Inquiries, Book 3: installment 15
		Because with that indeed the Egyptian found fault, he induced and bade Cambyses to demand from Amasis a daughter, that either he might give her and be grieved or not give her and incur Cambyses’ enmity.
		Then Amasis, vexed by and afraid of the power of the Persians, was able neither to give nor deny; for he knew well that Cambyses was to have her not as a wife, but as a concubine.
		Now, thus say the Persians, but the Egyptians claim Cambyses as their own, as they assert of that daughter of Amasis it was that he was born, because Cyrus was he who sent to Amasis for his daughter and not Cambyses, and giving that account, not correctly they give the account.

		More freely: The Egyptian was harbouring a grudge against Amasis, for when Cyrus had sent to Amasis asking for the best eye-doctor in Egypt, Amasis had selected this man out of all the doctors in the country, torn him from his wife and children, and handed him over to the Persians.
		The man in question is Psamtik III who became king after the death of his father Amasis but reigned for only one year, from 526 to 525.
		A little more freely: He gave orders for Amasis' corpse to be carried out, and for every kind of abuse to be inflicted upon it, such as flogging, tearing out its hair, and prodding it with goads.

		And from then on, as often as Amasis wanted her, they coupled, and he greatly loved her after this.

	The Confusion of the 26th and 19th Dynasty Kings and the Solution
		As we already learned from Allan Gardiner commenting on Amasis, the Egyptian general, high ranking Egyptian officials would write their names in cartouches even though they were not royalty or seated kings.
		If the Amasis referred to is general Amasis from the time of Merneptah he might be the best chronological anchor we have.
		The graffiti then would refer to the time when Amasis was still general, either later in the reign of Ramses II, or, less likely but still possible, that this voyage took place during the reign of Merneptah/Apries.
