188pp. No. 246 in the Ophelia Press series. A reprint of a novel originally published at Paris by the Olympia Press in 1955 as vol. 11 of the Traveller's Companion series. From the back cover: 'Perhaps the greatest of Marcus van Heller's historical novels, Loins of Amon deals with little-known sex cults and practices in ancient Egypt, and with the incredible level of debauchery and depravity prevailing at the decadent Pharoh's court. Ineni was the hero who rose against the lecherous priesthood, who led the revolt against their lascivious and cruel order. But power always corrupts, and after ending Pharoh's rule, Ineni found himself unable to resist the temptations. All the minds and bodies in his great empire had to be subjected to his own perverse desires---and the wheel of history moved into another revolution.'. OPH246.
