    Egyptian mythology is one of the most fascinating and enduring belief systems in human history. Rooted in the ancient civilization along the Nile, these myths shaped the religious, social, and political landscape of Egypt for thousands of years. Unlike many other mythologies, Egyptian beliefs were not static; they evolved over time, incorporating new deities, merging legends, and adapting to the needs of the people. The gods and stories of Egypt were deeply intertwined with daily life, influencing everything from temple rituals to the rule of pharaohs. Understanding Egyptian mythology provides insight into the values, fears, and aspirations of one of history’s most influential civilizations.  
  
The origins of Egyptian mythology date back to the early dynastic period and possibly even before. Ancient Egyptians believed that the universe emerged from a vast, chaotic primordial ocean called Nun. From this cosmic void, the first gods appeared, bringing order to existence. Myths about creation, divine rule, and the afterlife were passed down through oral traditions and recorded in hieroglyphic texts found on temple walls, coffins, and papyrus scrolls. These stories explained natural phenomena, justified the authority of the pharaohs, and provided a spiritual roadmap for the journey beyond death.  
  
Mythology played a central role in ancient Egyptian life, influencing art, architecture, and governance. Temples were constructed as homes for the gods, and elaborate religious festivals reenacted mythological events to ensure cosmic balance. The pharaoh, considered the living embodiment of Horus and the son of Ra, was both a political and religious leader, serving as the bridge between the gods and the people. Myths were not merely symbolic; they were an active force shaping society’s structure and rituals.

    In terms of geopolitics, perhaps the most seminal event of the Middle Ages was the successful Ottoman siege of Constantinople in 1453. The city had been an imperial capital as far back as the 4th century, when Constantine the Great shifted the power center of the Roman Empire there, effectively establishing two almost equally powerful halves of antiquity’s greatest empire. Constantinople would continue to serve as the capital of the Byzantine Empire even after the Western half of the Roman Empire collapsed in the late 5th century. Naturally, the Ottoman Empire would also use Constantinople as the capital of its empire after their conquest effectively ended the Byzantine Empire, and thanks to its strategic location, it has been a trading center for years and remains one today under the Turkish name of Istanbul.  
	The end of the Byzantine Empire had a profound effect not only on the Middle East but Europe as well. Constantinople had played a crucial part in the Crusades, and the fall of the Byzantines meant that the Ottomans now shared a border with Europe. In the wake of taking Constantinople, the Ottoman Empire would spend the next few centuries expanding its size, power, and influence, bumping up against Eastern Europe and becoming one of the world’s most important geopolitical players. It was a rise that would not truly start to wane until the 19th century. Naturally, the Islamic empire was viewed as a threat by the predominantly Christian continent to their west, and it took little time for different European nations to start clashing with the powerful Turks. In fact, the Ottomans would clash with Russians, Austrians, Venetians, Polish, and more before collapsing as a result of World War I, when they were part of the Central Powers.

    'Tony Rogers consistently reveals new material regarding WW2 operations, in this case with the captivating account of an LRDG hero.' —Ex-Lance-corporal X, QGM, author of The SAS and LRDG Roll of Honour, 1941-47 
 
 
 
John Olivey, an officer in the Long Range Desert Group, saw action in the Western Desert, where he was awarded the Military Cross; he fought in the Dodecanese, for which he was decorated a second time; and saw active service on mainland Greece, and in Istria. In autumn 1943, he was deployed to the Aegean and in October tasked with leading 'Olforce' in an ill-conceived operation to take the island of Levitha. Of some fifty LRDG, he was one of only seven to avoid capture. During the battle for Leros in November, he commanded X2 Patrol at Clidi, a key hilltop position. After British forces on Leros capitulated, Olivey was taken prisoner. 
 
 
 
While being marched through Athens with hundreds of other prisoners of war, he escaped. Aided by local residents, Olivey remained in hiding in German-occupied Athens. It would be more than four months before he was at last able to return to Allied territory. During this time, he wrote a compelling, brutally honest, and often amusing personal account, describing his involvement in what was an eventful and momentous chapter in the history of the LRDG. This is his story.
