The Dreams of Atia and Octavius. A Note about the Relations between Augustus and Egypt In Suetonius ("Divus Augustus", 94, 4-5) and Dio Cassius (45, 1, 2-3) are preserved two versions of a narrative borrowed from a lost book, the "Theolegumena" by Asclepiades of Mendes, narrative introducing Octavius, in the same time, as the son of Apollo, as a replica of Alexander and as an Egyptian Pharaoh. It is probably a text written in Egypt between 30 & 27 ВС, to serve there as an ideological vindication of the roman conquest, but perhaps equally used in Italy by Octavius, ca. 28, for propaganda purposes. The reasons of its writing are compared to the ones having probably inspired Alexander's pilgrimage to Siwa and the elaboration of the narrative preserved in Alexander's "Romance", I, 1-14
