Egyptian Myths & Legends: Tales of Heroes, Gods & Monsters

Flame Tree Collector's Editions Mythology

by Jake Jackson (Editor), Joyce Tyldesley (Introduction)

The perfect introduction to the gods, traditions and culture of Ancient Egypt, bound in a seductive, collectable edition.

Gorgeous Collector's Edition. The Myths of Ancient Egypt are tied intimately to the presence and natural rhythms of the Nile. With their animalistic mythology, the Egyptians explained the effects of famine, harvest, floods and death by creating a pantheon of gods that still holds our fascination today. This new book of classic tales brings the stories of the ancients to life, from the birth of creation by Ra, the sun god, to the murder of Osiris, and the revenge of Horus. We gain glimpses of the underworld and the afterlife, as the rulers of Egypt claimed lineage from the Gods both worshipped and fashioned by the people of Egypt, at a time when humankind had begun to shape the world around it,

Flame Tree Collector's Editions present the foundations of speculative fiction, authors, myths and tales without which the imaginative literature of the twentieth century would not exist, bringing the best, most influential and most fascinating works into a striking and collectable library. Each book features a new introduction and a Glossary of Terms.

I absolutely loved how much information was in this book and loved the glossary in the back!

[Leeann · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very information, loved learning more about Egypt myths and why/how it changed and seen now a days. Some parts of the book I didn't care for but I still read them because I did learn some cool and amazing things.

This is a really good book, I learned quite a bit that I didn't know. Eygptian mythology is crazy and it's like stepping into another world it's so weird and different. This book focuses a lot on the Book of the Dead, and it's the rituals, but it does eventually move into more of the mythology and stories of the pharaohs. My favorite thing I read about was actually Thoth. I wasn't really aware of him, and now I think he is one of the favorites next to Anubis, Isis, and Bastet.
