[Terry Sneed · Rating 5 out of 5]

A magnificent translation into English by Gilbert Murray, than whom there is none better. A deft and imaginative rendering of a fascinating Demotic text.

Magnificent translation by magnificent translator! An Egyptian story told via a demotic papyrus; very unusual and fanciful; not the same old Greek stories.
