Tales of Ancient Egypt

This is a retelling of Egyptian myths and legends for younger readers, drawn from temple texts, mortuary books, and later Greek reports. Green recounts the daily voyage of Ra, the murder and restoration of Osiris, the contests of Horus and Seth, and tales of Hathor, Thoth, Isis, and pharaohs who meet gods or magic. Later chapters include adventure stories of treasure, shipwreck, and the afterlife. The tone is narrative rather than archaeological. The book is a story collection of Egyptian religion and folklore, not a history of the dynasties and not a museum catalogue.
