The Egyptian ruling dynasty of peoples who held the given name Ptolemy
a Greek astronomer and mathematician who lived and worked in Egypt. He studied the stars, and believed that the Earth was at the centre of the universe, and that the stars, the sun, and the planets all travelled in circles around the Earth. This idea is known as the Ptolemaic System, and most people believed it to be true until Nicholas Copernicus proved that it was wrong at the beginning of the 16th century (?AD100-AD170). the name used by the family of kings who ruled Egypt from the 4th century BC to the 1st century BC. Latin Claudius Ptolemaeus born AD 100 died AD 170 Greek astronomer and mathematician. He worked principally in Alexandria. It is often difficult to determine which findings in his great astronomical book, the Almagest, are Ptolemy's and which are Hipparchus's. The Sun, Moon, planets, and stars, he believed, were attached to crystalline spheres, centred on Earth, which turned to create the cycles of day and night, the lunar month, and so on. In order to explain retrograde motion of the planets, he refined a complex geometric model of cycles within cycles that was highly successful at predicting the planets' positions in the sky. The Earth-centred Ptolemaic system became dogmatically asserted in Western Christendom until the Sun-centred Copernican system replaced it. His Geography contained an estimate of the size of Earth, a description of its surface, and a list of places located by latitude and longitude. Ptolemy also dabbled in mechanics, optics, and music theory. Ptolemy II Philadelphus Ptolemy III-XV Ptolemy I Soter

Ptolemy I Soter
born 367/366, Macedonia died 283/282 BC, Egypt Ruler of Egypt (323-285) and founder of the Ptolemaic dynasty. A Macedonian general of Alexander the Great, he and the other generals divided the empire after Alexander's death, Ptolemy becoming satrap of Egypt. Alexander's successors were soon at war. Ptolemy was defeated in 306 by Antigonus I Monophthalmus, though he and the others rebuffed Antigonus's attack on Egypt. He earned the name Soter ("Saviour") after defeating Antigonus on Rhodes (304), but Antigonus was not finally crushed until 301 at the Battle of Ipsus. Ptolemy secured and expanded his empire through alliances and marriages. He and his fellow kings won a final war (288-286) against Demetrius of Macedonia, freeing Athens from Macedonian occupation. He obtained control of the League of Islanders (including most of the Aegean islands), which formed the basis of Egypt's maritime supremacy. As king he respected Egyptian culture, blended Greek and Egyptian peoples and religions, and founded the Library and Museum of Alexandria. After his death the Egyptians raised him to the level of a god. He was succeeded by his son, Ptolemy II Philadelphus
Ptolemy II Philadelphus
born 308, Cos died 246 BC King of Egypt (285-246 BC), second king of the Ptolemaic dynasty. He reigned as coruler (285-282) with his father, Ptolemy I Soter, then purged his family of rivals, including his first wife, and married his sister, Arsinoe II. Wars with the rulers of the Seleucid and Antigonid dynasties weakened his influence in the Aegean and brought near-disaster to his allies Athens and Sparta. He concluded these wars by diplomacy and marriage alliances and managed to regain his influence in the Aegean. He devised a buffer zone of possessions to protect Egypt from attack, and he dealt with reverses through diplomacy. A prudent and enlightened ruler, he promoted economic development and made Alexandria into a centre for poets and scholars

Ptolemy III-XV
(r. 246-30 BC) Macedonian kings of the Ptolemaic dynasty in Egypt. Ptolemy III Euergetes ("Benefactor") (fl. 246-221) defeated the ruler of the Seleucid dynasty in the Third Syrian War (245-241). Ptolemy IV Philopator ("Father-loving") (r. 221-205) allowed Egypt to decline under his debauched rule. Ptolemy IX Soter II ruled with his mother (116-110, 109-107), until she expelled him and installed his brother Ptolemy X Alexander (r. 107-88). Alexander's unpopularity resulted in his expulsion, and he died at sea in
Ptolemy III-XV
Soter II assumed sole rule (88-81), installing his brother's widow, his own daughter, with him. Ptolemy XI Alexander II (r. 80) was the last fully legitimate Ptolemaic king of Egypt. On the orders of Sulla, whose hostage he had been, he took Ptolemy IX Soter II's widow as wife and attempted to rule with her. This being unacceptable to the queen, Ptolemy murdered her and took sole power, for which the people of Alexandria killed him; his rule lasted 19 days. Of the remaining Ptolemies, Ptolemy XIV Theos Philopator II shared power (47-44) with his sister Cleopatra; it was probably she who had him assassinated, to make way for her son by Julius Caesar. Ptolemy XV Caesar, or Caesarion, shared power with his mother from 44; he was killed by Octavian (later Augustus) after Cleopatra's suicide in
