The Classical Press of Wales, an independent venture, was founded in 1993, initially to support the work of classicists and ancient historians in Wales and their collaborators from further afield. More recently it has published work initiated by scholars internationally. While retaining a special loyalty to Wales and the Celtic countries, the Press welcomes scholarly contributions from all parts of the world.
The symbol of the Press is the Red Kite. This bird, once widespread in Britain, was reduced by 1905 to some five individuals confined to a small area known as The Desert of Wales the upper Tywi valley. Geneticists report that the stock was saved from terminal inbreeding by the arrival of one stray female bird from Germany. After much careful protection, the Red Kite now thrives in Wales and beyond.
To my mother and father
It is human life. We are blown upon the world; we float buoyantly upon the summer air a little while, complacently showing off our grace of form and our dainty iridescent colors; then we vanish with a little puff, leaving nothing behind but a memory and sometimes not even that. I suppose that at those solemn times when we wake in the deeps of the night and reflect, there is not one of us who is not willing to confess that he is really only a soap-bubble, and as little worth the making.
Mark Twain s Own Autobiography
(North American Review, May 3, 1907)
This book is the culmination of many years of research, which began primarily under the wise direction of Antonio Loprieno. It was at UCLA that the bulk of my research took place. I am grateful for all the assistance I received in Los Angeles from many individuals including Diane Abugheida, Giorgio Buccellati, Donald J. Cosentino, William Schniedwind, and Yona Sabar.
This work has since undergone a number of transformations in large part due to suggestions and discussions among friends and colleagues. Among the numerous people to whom I owe thanks, Richard Parkinson and Anthony Spalinger, who kindly accepted to read and comment on my drafts, gave unfailing advice and support. Joris F. Borghouts, Scott Noegel, Milena Perraud, Joachim Quack, and Wolfgang Schenkel offered their expertise on particular aspects, and I am grateful for the time and attention they extended to me and my project.
Diane Magee and the Griffith Institute generously provided me with resources. The groundbreaking works of John Ray and Robert K. Ritner played a major role in shaping my understanding of ancient dreams.
My thanks go to Alan B. Lloyd for his support and confidence, and for providing the time needed to complete this project. I am grateful to my publisher, Anton Powell, for selecting this book as his first venture into the realm of Egyptology, and for helping me get through it all in the smoothest way. Thanks are due for the sensitive cover artwork, created by Fil Barlow and Helen Maier.
Kelly Bulkeley supplied insights on a phenomenon not unique to ancient Egypt. His role in this work was a considerable one.
A special thanks to my friends Andre, Candy, Jonathon, Vladimir, and Yebo for their constant comfort and occasional comic relief. The strength and wisdom of those dear to me but now in the farworld, Chris and Bee, remain enduring and tangible; while Gretzky literally looks over my shoulder. Above all, my deepest gratitude must go to Malcolm, who sacrificed so much in order that my dreams might come true.

To die, to sleep
To sleep, perchance to dream, ay theres the rub,
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause; theres the respect
That makes calamity of so long life.
