The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The library was part of a larger research institution called the Mouseion, which was dedicated to the Muses, the nine goddesses of the arts.
- The idea of a universal library in Alexandria may have been proposed by Demetrius of Phalerum, an exiled Athenian statesman living in Alexandria, to Ptolemy I Soter, who may have established plans for the library, but the library itself was probably not built until the reign of his son Ptolemy II Philadelphus.
- The library quickly acquired many papyrus scrolls, owing largely to the Ptolemaic kings' aggressive and well-funded policies for procuring texts.
Why it is Epic
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Library of Alexandria article was read about 850,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 84 and blocks with 100: each hit it takes is cut by 40 %.
