Synopsis:

The 11 carefully chosen stories in this collection include legends of Osiris and the deities connected with him ("The Scorpions of Isis"), stories about other, lesser gods ("The Princess and the Demon"), and legends of Ra ("The Name of Ra"). Among the earliest literature known to us, these wonderfully readable ancient stories provide a revealing glimpse into the lives and culture of the ancient Egyptians and the legends that both entertained them and expressed their beliefs about this world and the next. While the book is intended for a general reading public, the author has also made available material for the more serious student of Egyptology, including information on the origins of the legends and the sources in which the material first appeared.
