Egyptian Myths and Tales: Stories of the Gods and Goddesses by Lewis Spence & Donald A Mackenzie (Hardback)

Egyptian Myths and Tales: Stories of the Gods and Goddesses is a deluxe anthology of Ancient Egyptian mythology, bringing together a rich collection of traditional stories that explore the gods, goddesses and legendary figures of one of the world’s earliest civilisations. Presented as part of the Arcturus Gilded Classics series, this edition features a luxury hardback design with gold gilded sprayed edges and a premium presentation style designed for collectors and mythology enthusiasts.

The book gathers together a wide range of mythological tales that shaped Ancient Egyptian belief systems and cultural identity. Within its pages are stories of creation, divine conflict and human encounters with powerful deities. Readers are introduced to figures such as Ra, Osiris, Isis, Horus, Anubis and Set, each playing a central role in myths that explain the origins of life, death and the afterlife in Egyptian tradition.

Included are well-known narratives such as the rebellion against the sun god Ra, the tragic story of Isis and Osiris, the riddle of the Sphinx and the tale of Bata and Anubis. These stories reflect themes of betrayal, transformation, justice and divine power, often blending human struggles with the influence of the gods.

Alongside mythological accounts, the collection also includes folk tales that show how ordinary people were believed to interact with the divine world, offering insight into ancient cultural values and storytelling traditions.

Perfect for readers who enjoy mythology, ancient history, classical folklore, cultural storytelling, gods and goddesses, and illustrated collectible editions of timeless myths.
