Robert Armour's classic text; long cherished by a generation of readers; is now complemented with more than 50 new photographs and line drawings that show the gods and goddesses in their characteristic forms. Armour maintains a strong narrative thread with illuminating commentary in his lively; vigorous retelling of stories from Egyptian mythology; including those of the sun god Ra; the tragic death and rebirth of Osiris with the help of Isis; the near-burlesque of Horus' battle with the evil Seth; and the ''gods of the intellect'' Thoth and Maat. Now with an updated bibliography and glossary as well as new charts showing the gods at a glance and ancient Egyptian chronology in brief; this book is sure to inform and enchant a new generation of readers.
