The myths and legends of ancient Egypt still reach out to us across nearly six thousand years with timeless and universal expressions of human hopes and fears that are sometimes quite familiar, sometimes quite strange. Without myth, the writing of history and our knowledge of the past would be impossible; without the writing of history, myth would be pointless. This informative and important book, first published by Lewis Spence in 1915, is a useful introduction to the study of Egypt.
