Ptolemy I Soter I (c. 367 BCE – c. 283/282 BCE), also known as Ptolemy Lagides, was a Macedonian general who served under Alexander the Great. When Alexander died, his Trident of Eden was split three ways with Ptolemy taking possession of one of its prongs and going on to fight in order to secure the Kingdom of Egypt. His rule began the eponimous Ptolemaic dynasty who would control Egypt, as a Hellenized kingdom, for the next 250 years.[1]
While Alexander's sarcophagus was being transported back to Macedonia, Ptolemy hijacked the convoy and brought it back to Egypt, initially burying the Macedonian King in Memphis. The sarcophagus was later moved again before being brought to Alexandria where a tomb was erected and became the final resting place for Alexander.[2]
In 2012, Ptelomy was included in a mnemonic set in Abstergo Industries' Project Legacy.[3]
