Abstract

In Ancient Egypt the King-god occupied a central place in their cosmovision: he maintained the righteous order, Ma´at, and one of his roles was to prevent the entrance of chaos, Isfet, to Egypt. As a dual- King, he embodied the unión of the territory and his power was universal. In this way, the King was linked to the country, so anything that occurred to his person had repercussions in Egypt. Then, what happened if the King lived in foreing land? The purpose of this work is to understand the changes that occurred in the conception of real power during the Late Period (664-332 BC) and offer a state of the matter on Egyptian royalty at the time of the first Persian domination analyzed through the work of Herodotus of Halicarnassus, whose account is the result of a juxtaposition of Greek elements such as Egyptians.
