Course contents :  
The first part of the course will be dedicated to the analysis of the principles that structured Ancient Egyptian religion (in synchrony as well as in diachrony) and of the means still available nowadays to investigate the religious phenomenon in Ancient Egypt. The second part of the course will deal with a subject relating to the study of the diffusion of isiac cults in the greco-roman world. This year, it will present a kind of cultural biography of the new divine husband of Isis, the god Sarapis / Serapis, from his so-called creation under Ptolemy Ist Soter until the destruction of his famous sanctuary in Alexandria by Christians in 391.
