In this early volume the myths and legends of ancient Egypt are
embraced in a historical narrative which begins with the rise of
the great Nilotic civilization and ends with the Graeco-Roman Age.
The principle deities are dealt with chiefly at the various periods
in which they came into prominence, while the legends are so
arranged as to throw light on the beliefs and manners and customs
of the ancient people. Metrical renderings are given of such of the
representative folk songs and poems as can be appreciated at the
present day. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating
back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and
increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in
affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text
and artwork.
