Descrizione

Even if the story of Moses’ birth in the Bible follows the pattern of the “legend of the hero exposed at birth”, the most striking element in it is the inversion of the traditional cliché of an infant abandoned by a noble mother and adopted by a humble family. This paper, centered on the analysis of witnesses from the Jew-Hellenistic authors proposes the theory that Moses is presented as the legitimate heir to Egyptian throne, in order to connect him with a universally recognized model of “ideal kingship”.
