Editing Ramesses IX (section)

==In modern literature==
The novel ''[[Ancient Evenings]]'' by [[Norman Mailer]] is told from the perspective of characters living during the reign of Ramesses IX, including Ramesses IX himself.  Most but not all of the novel takes place on one long evening in 1123 or 1122 BCE, during which the characters (including Ramesses IX) tell stories of the past. The majority of the book concerns the reign of Ramesses II, approximately 150 years before the night of the narrative; the Battle of Kadesh (1274 BCE) is in turn the central event of this sub-narrative.
