Description of The Septuagint and Homeric Scholarship in Alexandria
The "Letter of Aristeas" tells the story of how Ptolemy Philadelphus of Egypt commissioned 70 scholars to translate the Hebrew Bible into Greek. Sylvie Honigman argues that the Letter should not be regarded as history, but as a charter myth for diaspora Judaism.
