Graeco-Aegyptiaca Resources

Welcome to Graeco-Aegyptiaca Resources, a compilation of websites related to different aspects of cultural exchange between ancient Egypt and Greece.

This page is developed jointly by the UCL Department of Greek and Latin and the Palladion within the framework of the project ‘Ancient Greece and Egypt: Pathways to Outreach and Impact’ (Knowledge Exchange C72 KEI2023-02-07).

Special thanks to Palladion’s research assistant, Polyxeni Chavani for her help in compiling the database.
