Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Analysis of the Egyptian Mythology: To Which Is Subjoined, a Critical Examination of the Remains of Egyptian Chronology The motive which originally induced me to enter on the inquiries contained in the following work was the desire to elucidate, through the mythology of the ancient Egyptians, the relations of that people to other branches of the human family. The arts and the literature of Egypt appear to have been the produce of the country and its peculiar possession: they display no indications of foreign origin and improvement. The language and the physical characters of the people are likewise peculiar and strongly distinguished from those belonging to other races of men. Even many parts of the Egyptian mythology, like the poetical fictions of the Greeks and the Hindoos, bore an evident relation to the local features and physical conditions of the region where they were invented.

Download or read book Handbook of Egyptian Mythology written by Geraldine Pinch and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2002-09-17 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanning ancient Egyptian culture (ca. 3200 B.C.E. to C.E. 400), the Handbook of Egyptian Mythology is the only complete survey of Egyptian mythology of its kind available in English. In this comprehensive introduction to Egyptian mythology, author Geraldine Pinch shows how the mythology of Ancient Egypt must be pieced together from a variety of written and visual sources. Relationships between deities changed, and the Egyptian myths were never gathered by priests into an "authorized version." Handbook of Egyptian Mythology provides a brief discussion about the nature of myths; the concept of time in Egyptian mythology; a historical overview of the sources of Egyptian myth; and a dictionary of deities, themes, and concepts, which concentrates on the prominent gods and goddesses in Egyptian myth. The book also includes references to general works on Egyptian culture, religion, and myth; translations of ancient texts; and a selection of literature influenced by Egyptian myth.

Book excerpt: An excellent historical overview of the gods... It is a recommended necessary reading for those studying Ancient Egyptian religion.―Frankie's Reviews in Egyptology A work of extraordinary distinction, Hornung's book will appeal to anyone interested in ancient Egypt, in ancient religion, and in the history of religion, as well as students and scholars of ancient history, anthropology, and archaeology. Osiris, Horus, Isis, Thoth, Anubis - the many strange and compelling figures of the Egyptian gods and goddesses seem to possess endless fascination. The renowned Egyptologist Erik Hornung here studies the ancient Egyptians' conceptions of god, basing his account on a thorough reappraisal of the primary sources. His book, now available in English for the first time, is the most extensive exploration yet undertaken of the nature of Egyptian religion. Hornung examines the characteristics, spheres of action, and significance of Egyptian gods and goddesses, analyzing the complex and changing iconography used to represent them, and disentangling the many seemingly contradictory aspects of the religion of which they are a part. He seeks to answer two basic questions: How did the Egyptians themselves see their gods? Did they believe there was an impersonal, anonymous force behind the multiplicity of their deities? Throughout, he attempts to evoke the complexity and richness of the religion of the ancient Egyptians and of their worldview, which differs so greatly from our own. Sensitively translated by John Baines and with a new preface by the author, this edition has been amplified and updated with an English-language audience in mind.
