Descriptionof Götter am Nil
Manufacturer

Garry J. Shaw guides us through the labyrinth of Egyptian mythology with both expertise and wit. For the ancient Egyptians, the workings of the gods revealed the nature of the world. When the sun rises in the sky each day, it is Re traversing the heavens in his solar barque. Yet these myths encompass not only the world we inhabit but also visions of the afterlife. The gods themselves are deeply humanand often quarrelsome. Their adventures tell tales of murder and mayhem, of the pursuit of power and the force of love: how the envious Seth murders his brother Osiris; how the magically gifted Isis seeks to wrest power from the sun god Re; how Re outwits the intoxicated Celestial Cow, Hathor. These are magnificent stories that open up an entire universeand the world itselfto the reader.
