Book excerpt: Mythes et légendes sont les aspects les plus fondamentaux de notre patrimoine. Ils ouvrent la porte aux langues sacrées et secrètes, ils transmettent des messages primordiaux qui se confondent avec les origines de l'homme. Myriam Philibert dresse l'inventaire des thèmes les plus fréquents, et les analyse à travers les contes et épopées qui les transportent. L'origine et la fin des mondes ont toujours passionné l'homme, qui cherche une réponse à sa présence sur terre. Les quatre règnes de la nature, Terre, Eau, Feu, Air alimentent la passion des récits, du Déluge détruisant l'humanité à l'impossible quête du feu, de la mort - descente aux enfers à l'initiation... De Gilgamesh à Héraclès, des Andes aux Indes, des glaces quaternaires au soleil de l'ancienne Egypte, de la pierre et de l'outil à la statue, de la caverne au temple, du cercle à la croix ce sont tous les grands mythes, toutes les légendes primordiales que l'on retrouve dans ce guide qui, en la reprenant sous ses diverses formes, explique la plus belle histoire - aux multiples variantes - jamais inventée par l'homme : celle de ses origines et de son évolution.

Download or read book The Egyptian Myths A Guide to the Ancient Gods and Legends Myths written by Garry J. Shaw and published by Thames & Hudson. This book was released on 2014-04-22 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An authoritative guide to the Egyptian myths that sheds new light on an ancient way of understanding the world This survey of Egyptian mythology explores how the ancient Nile-dwellers explained the world around them. It delves into the creation and evolution of the world and the reigns of the gods on earth, before introducing us to the manifestations of Egypt’s deities in the natural environment; the inventive ways in which the Egyptians dealt with the invisible forces all around them; and their beliefs about life after death. Through his engaging narrative, Garry Shaw guides us through the mythic adventures of such famous deities as Osiris, the god murdered by his jealous brother Seth; the magical and sometimes devious Isis, who plotted to gain the power of the sun god Re; and Horus, who defeated his uncle Seth to become king of Egypt. He also introduces us to lesser known myths, such as the rebellions against Re; Geb’s quest for Re’s magical wig; and the flaying of the unfortunate god Nemty. From stars and heavenly bodies sailing on boats, to the wind as manifestation of the god Shu, to gods, goddesses, ghosts, and demons—beings that could be aggressive, helpful, wise, or dangerous—Shaw goes on to explain how the Egyptians encountered the mythological in their everyday lives.

Book excerpt: Depuis les temps les plus reculés de son histoire, l'Homme a transmis des récits pour tenter d'expliquer le monde qui l'entoure, son origine et son destin : dans des contrées inaccessibles, dans les ténèbres de la terre et l'immensité du cosmos, dieux, déesses et héros s'aiment et se haïssent, font la guerre, voyagent, formulent des oracles et des prophéties. Homère a raconté les aventures d'Ulysse à Troie, Platon a décrit l'Atlantide, le Moyen Age s'est lancé dans la quête du saint Graal. Sur les cinq continents, chaque civilisation a créé ses propres mythes et ses légendes, qui présentent parfois de troublants échos. Aujourd'hui encore, comment aborder l'Orient ou l'Afrique en ignorant tout des mythologies qui ont marqué, de façon durable, les cultures et les mentalités ? Mythes et légendes du monde entier présente et éclaire ces grands récits légendaires dont l'humanité a gardé mémoire. Rome et la Grèce antiques, mais aussi l'Inde ancienne, l'Egypte, l'Afrique, l'Océanie, l'Australie, la Chine, le Japon, le continent américain et les pays nordiques nous les ont légués. Les meilleurs spécialistes nous les restituent. Une illustration remarquable, constituée de plus de 750 documents, rend étonnamment vivante cette épopée dans l'espace et le temps.

Download or read book Egyptian Mythology A Traveler s Guide from Aswan to Alexandria written by Garry J. Shaw and published by Thames & Hudson. This book was released on 2021-10-26 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique approach to Egyptian mythology takes readers on a tour up the Nile, stopping at the most famous monuments and vividly retelling the myths connected to each site. Join Egyptologist Garry J. Shaw on an entertaining tour up the Nile, through a beautiful and fascinating landscape populated with a rich mythology: the stories of Horus, Isis, Osiris, and their enemies and allies in tales of vengeance, tragedy, and fantastic metamorphoses. Shaw retells these stories with his characteristic wit, and reconnects them to the temples and monuments that still stand today, offering a fresh look at the most visited sites of Egypt. The myths of ancient Egypt have survived in fragments of ancient hymns and paintings on the walls of tombs and temples, spells inked across coffins, and stories scrawled upon scrolls. Illustrations throughout bring to life the creation of the world and the nebulous netherworld; the complicated relationships between fickle gods, powerful magicians, and pharaohs; and eternal battles on a cosmic scale. Shaw’s evocative descriptions of the ancient ruins will transport readers to another landscape—including the magnificent sites of Dendera, Tell el-Amarna, Edfu, and Thebes. At each site, they will discover which gods or goddesses were worshipped there, as well as the myths and stories that formed the backdrop to the rituals and customs of everyday life. Each chapter ends with a potted history of the site, as well as tips for visiting the ruins today. Egyptian Mythology is the perfect companion to the myths of Egypt and the gods and goddesses that shaped its ancient landscape.
