Ptolemy I (born c. 367 BC; reigned 323 – 282 BC) was a former general of Alexander the Great and the first king of the Ptolemaic Dynasty. Ptolemy was responsible for Serapis's rise to power.
History[]
When Alexander the Great died in 323 BC, Ptolemy took over Egypt. He discovered a statue of Serapis and brought it to Alexandria, ordering the Greek and Egyptian priests to do auguries and incantations. He made Serapis the main god and worshipped over all others. He decided that making him a major god, he wanted to become immortal too. He declared himself a god, but his magic backfired. After his death, his family was cursed for generations and grew weaker and weaker until Cleopatra committed suicide.
