Herodotus and Amasis' coup d'état
Original language description
A thorough examination of the surviving written sources – Egyptian, Greek and Babylonian –dealing with the civil war between Amasis and Apries clearly shows that the latter was still recognised at Thebes in Upper Egypt over eight months after the first stele dated by the new king Ahmose II/Amasis. Be that as it may, the effectiveness and intensity of Ahmose II/Amasis’ subsequent propaganda, mirrored in classical written sources, including Herodotus’ account, seems to be a brilliant move that has misled classicists and Egyptologists for a long time and with little change to the present day.
