Egypt became a province of the Persian or Achaemenid
Empire in 526 BC. In the decades thereafter, some inhabitants of the
Delta and Nile Valley rebelled against their Persian overlords. Though
these rebellions are well known, they have been little studied. The
present thesis provides an in-depth study of the first two rebellions of
Persian-Period Egypt: the rebellion that began in ca. 521 BC, and which
may have lasted until 519/18 BC, and the rebellion that began in ca.
487/86 BC, and which may have lasted until 485/84 BC.
