Demetrius of Phalarum, the founder of the Alexandrian library under Ptolemy I, was miraculously cured of blindness by Serapis and wrote hymns of thanksgiving. Serapis often spoke through oracles and gave counsel as well as personal, miraculous healings to many people. There is a famous historical account involving Serapis that marked an important era in the establishment of him as the most prominent deity of Egypt and Greece. King Ptolemy I, ruler of Egypt, was visited in a dream by Serapis, who commanded the king to bring the god’s statue to Alexandria. After vacillation and a second dream with Serapis, the king had the statue brought with the blessings of the [[Delphi|Delphic Oracle]] and installed it in the Serapium, or great Temple, of Alexandria. This is the temple that contained the famous Alexandrian library of three hundred thousand volumes.  
Demétrio de Falério, que fundou a biblioteca de Alexandria durante
o reinado de Ptolomeu I, foi milagrosamente curado da cegueira por Serápis e escreveu diversos hinos dando-lhe graças. Serápis costumava falar por meio de oráculos, além de aconselhar e promover curas pessoais milagrosas. Existe uma passagem histórica famosa que se tornou um marco importante na sua elevação à condição de divindade proeminente do Egito e da Grécia. Em sonhos, Serápis apareceu ao rei Ptolomeu I, governante do Egito, e mandou-o levar a estátua do deus para Alexandria. Como a ordem não foi cumprida, um segundo sonho com Serápis fez com que o rei transferisse a estátua, com as bênçãos do [[Special:MyLanguage/Delphi|Oráculo de Delfos]], e a instalasse no “Serapium”, ou Grande Templo de Alexandria. Este Templo abrigava a famosa biblioteca de Alexandria que tinha 300 mil volumes.  


Many epithets are ascribed to Serapis, including “Father,” “Saviour” and “the greatest of the deities.” He was regarded as the sponsor of intimate contact between the gods and mortals. Serapis is regarded in the annals of the esoteric tradition as the hierophant of the secret Egyptian initiatory rites. The lesser mysteries were dedicated to [[Isis]] and intended for the layman; the greater mysteries were dedicated to Serapis and Osiris and transmitted only to initiated priests who underwent severe rites of trial and initiation in the temple of Serapis.
