History, Narrative and Meaning in the First Tale of Setne Khaemwas.

"First Setne" is the
most important extant Demotic literary text, and among the most
important fictional compositions from any period of ancient Egypt. The
tale, which is by turns lurid, tragic and ultimately comic, deals with
Setne's theft of a magic book written by the god Thoth himself, and
subsequently Setne's punishment through a hallucinatory encounter with
the ghostly femme fatale Tabubue.
