Myths and Legends of Ancient Egypt

The Gods of the Nile and Their Worship

About this book

Osiris, Isis, the weighing of the heart and the boat of the sun, taken from the papyri and the temple walls rather than from later retellings. Spence wrote for readers who wanted the Egyptian material in order and without theosophy. This edition adds 57 plates of nineteenth-century painting, among them works by Thomas Cole, John Middleton and David Cox.
