Gods and myths of Ancient Egypt

"A lively, vigorous retelling of some of the main stories from Egyptian mythology. From the sun god Ra, through the tragic tale of Isis and Osiris, the near-burlesque of Horus' battle with the evil Seth, to the 'gods of the intellect' Thoth and Maat, Robert Armour maintains a strong narrative thread with illuminating commentary. Over fifty black-and-white illustrations show the gods and goddesses in their characteristic forms." -- Back cover
