In this part of our website, we discuss the founders of our tradition: Alexander the Great and his Successors in Egypt, the Ptolemaic Dynasty. These men and women were exceptional examples of the best (and at times the worst) in humanity, and their memory continues to inspire us over two thousand years after the last Ptolemy vanished from the pages of history.
