| Summary: | This article continues the discussion begun at the CIERGA Colloquium, held in Fribourg on 6 and 7 September 2021, on the Herodotean anecdote of Rhampsinite in the Underworld (II, 122), by examining the purpose of the game played between the Pharaoh and Demeter and, more broadly, its Egyptian symbolism, as well as that of the goddess’s gift of a “gold lamé napkin”. Various avenues are explored, showing that despite a probable interpretatio Graeca of the initial story, and an interpretation that may differ according to the circles in which the anecdote was received, it is still very much marked by its Egyptian origins. |
