Who is Osiris? Which god was invoked by common folk to bring good
luck? Who is the patron of childbirth? Such questions are answered
in this updated and comprehensive dictionary of Egyptian mythology.
This fascinating volume has alphabetically arranged entries on all
the major gods, goddesses, myths, and themes of Egyptian mythology.
In addition, there are entries on such topics as amulets, mummies,
and pyramids; a chronology of Egyptian dynasties; a detailed
introduction; and a complete annotated bibliography. Fifty
pen-and-ink drawings by the author capture the spirit of ancient
Egyptian art. In reworking this edition, Bianchi has attempted to
retain Anthony Mercatante's sensitive approach to the religion of
ancient Egypt, but has modified his treatment to bring it into
conformity with more recent academic opinion. In addition, the
annotated bibliography has been completely revised to eliminate
outdated works and incorporate recent scholarship. The result
should be useful to student and amateur alike.
