Hi folks, this is a homework question.

I am writing an annotated bibliography and later an essay on how 'Greek' the city of Alexandria was during the Hellenistic Era. I have a great many secondary sources, and my central argument is going to be about hybridity and a mosaic of cultural influences.

But. I need a primary source and I am driving myself nuts trying to find one. I asked my lecturer and he recommended I use an artwork or architectural example, which is cool. But my research skills don't seem to be very good. Any artefacts I read about aren't from Alexandria, but from Giza or Memphis or other towns and cities. I am going mad looking for something and I'm running out of time. There's tonnes of funerary art that I can't seem to link to Alexandria.

I'll happily go back to an ancient writer if there is one. Plutarch seems to mention Alexandria is passing when describing events in say Julius Caesar's career. I just don't know enough to know where to look. Is there a famous building maybe? Was there something about the design of the Pharos or the library which architecturally blended cultures? Was there a dig somewhere that placed Greek statuary next to Egyptian maybe? I know about Serapis from Assassins Creed (not a real source, I know but I am getting desperate).

Was there an object like the Ara Pacis maybe? Or a travelogue like Herodotus who wrote about the culture? I know it's inappropriate to ask this sub to do the research for me, and I will be writing this essay on my own. I just need a little more... pointing. Please and Thank you.
