Summary
Immerse yourself in the splendor and mystique of ancient Egypt with Egyptian Mythology, a richly illustrated and comprehensive exploration of the gods, cosmology, and spiritual symbolism of one of the world’s oldest civilizations. Published by Paul Hamlyn Limited in 1966, this hardcover volume—with its stunning full-color dust jacket now protected in Brodart—offers readers a scholarly yet accessible guide to Egypt’s pantheon of deities and the cultural framework in which they were worshipped.
Author Geraldine Harris (credited as G. Rachet in this English translation by J. Foster) takes readers on a journey through early cults, the mythic creation stories of major religious centers, and vivid portraits of gods and goddesses like Isis, Osiris, Horus, and Thoth. With elegant design and insightful text, this book doubles as both a reference and a visual experience, perfect for mythology enthusiasts, collectors, and lovers of ancient history.
