Henuttawy's guilty conscience (gods and grain in Late Ramesside letter no.37)

Research output: Contribution to specialist publicationArticle

Abstract

In Late Ramesside Letter no. 37, the singer of Amun Henuttawy explains how she was twice cheated out of grain consignments. She attributes these mishaps to the intervention of her patron god, Amun-Endowed-with-Eternity, who is avenging himself on her for allowing him to run out of grain offerings by depriving her of grain in turn. This article discusses the text and provides an overview of the background. Reprinted by permission of the publisher.
