Not even yet hast thou known me that I am a god, but thou ragest incessantly! Hast thou in good sooth no care for thy toil regarding the Trojans whom thou dravest in rout, who now are gathered into the city, while thou hast turned thee aside hitherward?

Yet the finished product is one of the most important popular and accessible books now available in Egyptology. Now, I must confess personal bias here – Joyce is a friend and University of Manchester colleague, and we have discussed the content of the book extensively. As a fellow curator, the idea of spending a whole book on a sole museum object is particularly appealing to me.
