Download or read book Jealous Gods and Chosen People written by David Leeming and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2004-03-04 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholar Leeming offers the first comprehensive narrative study of the mythology of the Middle East, that tumultuous region that was the cradle of civilization. Leeming begins with a brief history, followed by an in-depth discussion of the mythology of the region, ranging from prehistoric figures such as the mother goddess of Catal Huyuk to Mesopotamian gods such as Marduk and mythic heroes such as Gilgamesh, to the pantheon of Egyptian mythology. He also explores the mythology of the three great monotheistic religions of the region: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. In a provocative epilogue, Leeming notes that fundamentalists in the area's three religions today all see their way as the only way, forgetting that myths represent truths that are spiritual and philosophical, not historical events that can be used to justify acts of violence.--From publisher description.

Book excerpt: Learn more about the gods and goddesses of ancient Egypt with these interesting facts. Egyptians regarded the river Nile as a source of life and death and dedicated many gods to its protection. A number of these deities were represented in human form, including the fertility god, Min. Others were grotesque and took on more human like characteristics. The dwarf Bes was often depicted with a mask-like face, and the goddess Taurt was a combination of crocodile and hippopotamus features. The goddess Anuket is a major figure in Egyptian mythology. She created the soul or Ka, which represented human life. She also provided the afterlife with a destiny, which she decided upon based on one's character. She was a popular goddess during the Early Dynastic Period and the New Kingdom, pre-dating both Bastet and Sekhmet. In addition, she was a guardian of life and death, as she swallowed the setting sun, Ra, each evening. The goddess was a powerful figure, and is often depicted on the ceiling of a temple or tomb. The gods and goddesses of ancient Egypt were extremely important to their people. The most prominent gods were associated with agriculture, and the two were connected. Among them was Osiris.
