    LITERATURE OF

    EGYPT
    ANCIENT EGYPT

    2
    ANCIENT EGYPTIAN
    LITERATURE
    - was written in the Egyptian language from
    ancient Egypt's pharaonic period until the end
    of Roman domination. It represents the oldest
    corpus of Egyptian literature. Along with
    Sumerian literature, it is considered the
    world's earliest literature

    WRITING IMPLEMENTS AND
    MATERIALS
    - Egyptian literature was produced on a variety of media. Along
    with the chisel, necessary for making inscriptions on stone, the
    chief writing tool of ancient Egypt was the reed pen, a reed
    fashioned into a stem with a bruised, brush-like end. It is
    thought that papyrus rolls were moderately expensive
    commercial items, since many are palimpsests, manuscripts that
    have had their original contents erased to make room for new
    written works. It also explains the frequent use of ostraca and
    limestone flakes as writing media for shorter written works.

    7
    TALES AND STORIES
    - Narrative tales and stories are most often found on
    papyri, but partial and sometimes complete texts are
    found on ostraca. For example, Sinuhe is found on five
    papyri composed during the Twelfth and Thirteenth
    dynasties.[106] This text was later copied numerous times
    on ostraca during the Nineteenth and Twentieth dynasties,
    with one ostraca containing the complete text on both
    sides

    THE TALE OF THE
    TWO BROTHERS
    THE TWO BROTHERS
    - The Tale of Two Brothers is an ancient Egyptian story that
    dates from the reign of Seti II, who ruled from 1200 to
    1194 BC during the 19th Dynasty of the New Kingdom. The
    story is preserved on the Papyrus D'Orbiney, which is
    currently preserved in the British Museum

    The story centers around two brothers: Anpu (Anubis),


    who is married, and the younger Bata. The brothers work
    together, farming land and raising cattle. One day, Anpu's
    wife attempts to seduce Bata.

    PRIVATE LETTERS, MODEL
    LETTERS, AND EPISTLES

    • - The ancient Egyptian model letters and


    epistles are grouped into a single literary
    genre. Papyrus rolls sealed with mud stamps
    were used for long-distance letters, while
    ostraca were frequently used to write shorter,
    non-confidential letters sent to recipients
    located nearby. Private letters could be used as
    epistolary model letters for schoolboys to copy,
    including letters written by their teachers or
    their families.
