	Naucratis
		The city of Naucratis, although an insignificant village on the Canopic mouth of the Nile in the western Delta, was designated as the only port at which Greeks could land goods, or carry on business.
		Using Naucratis as an example of what could and should be done, he chose a larger site which became Alexandria.
		Naucratis of course slid into the waste-basket of history.

		places the foundation of Naucratis in the context of the growth of trade and colonization by the East Greeks in the late seventh century and compares it with the foundation of Gravisca in Etruria But where the Etruscans were receptive to Greek influences, the Egyptians were firmly attached to their own traditions.
		Naucratis thus functioned as a "port of trade" as defined by K. Polanyi, a point of contact between two different types of economies (55-7).
		The problem with this view was that macro-economic issues were conceived in microeconomic terms: the ancient Greeks were incapable of achieving a global perspective, of developing a clear conception of the hierarchical relations between the action of the states and its effects on individuals.

		Greek influence is particularly noticeable and Naucratis, the Greek cultural and trade center on the Canopic branch of the Nile was particularly prominent.
		Naucratis, once the home of the Athenian fleet under Inaros, then the base of operations under Amyrtaeus/Apries, was transformed from a military threat to a source of considerable wealth for Persia's Egyptian province.
		If the revised history is correct, then Naucratis was not founded by Amasis as a means of controlling foreign commerce, but by Inaros as a base of operations for the Athenian fleet he had summoned to his aid during the initial phase of the Egyptian rebellion.

		On the voyage from Naucratis to Memphis at this season, you pass close to the Pyramids, whereas the usual course is by the apex of the Delta.
		At Naucratis there was no hill whereon to build an acropolis; the Hellenion, with its mighty walls, took the place of a citadel and refuge in case of danger.
		The statuettes of Naucratis are seldom or never of purely Egyptian type; rather they are of the mixed character which we observe in statues and statuettes from the island of Cyprus.

	The Girl With The Rose Red Slippers
		In Naucratis, not far from the mouth of the Nile that flows into the sea at Canopus, there lived a wealthy Greek merchant called Charaxos.

		Here they heard of the rich merchant Charaxos and of how he had bought the beautiful Greek girl in the slave market, and how he was lavishing all his wealth upon her as if she had been a princess put in his care by the gods.

		(Chapter 179) Naucratis, Mastery of the Sea, was the Greek trading city on the Canobic mouth of the Nile, about 45 miles from the sea., and 15 miles overland west of Sais, on the Rosetta mouth, though there probably was a canal between them, and the land was flooded during the annual inundation anyway.
		If Naucratis still held the monopoly, this would have been perfect, but since the monopoly had ceased after existing for a space, the pluperfect was summoned.
		If someone came to another mouth of the Nile, it was necessary to swear not to have come of free will, and for the swearer to sail with his ship into the Canobic.

		For there is a portrait of Rhodopis in the temple of Aphrodite in Naucratis, and, knowing this portrait well, Phanes recognised by it that the woman was Rhodopis.

		This article takes a fresh look at the miniature, so-called alabaster kouroi found in 19th-century excavations at the site of the Greek emporium of Naucratis in the Egyptian Nile Delta.
		Even those that have hitherto been treated as self-evidently Greek turn out to combine their Hellenic nudity with features that are unquestionably Cypriot.
		Comparisons with limestone sculpture from southeast Cyprus suggest that the same workshops that supplied statuettes to sanctuaries there were also engaged in an export trade to Naucratis.

		Alexandria was intended to supersede (additional info and facts about Naucratis) Naucratis as a Greek centre in Egypt, and to be the link between (Landlocked republic on the Balkan Peninsula; achieved independence from Yugoslavia in 1991) Macedonia and the rich Nile Valley.
