Oude Egyptische Legenden by Margaret Alice Murray
"Oude Egyptische Legenden" by M.A. Murray is a collection of ancient Egyptian myths and legends written in the early 20th century. The text delves into the rich tapestry of Egyptian mythology, exploring the stories of gods and heroes that shaped the beliefs and culture of ancient Egypt. The collection aims to spark interest in the religion and civilization of this ancient society among contemporary readers. The opening of the book introduces several
intriguing stories centered around prominent gods like Ramses, Osiris, Khonsu, and Isis. In the first tale, titled "The Princess and the Demon," King Ramses is depicted as a great warrior and ruler who seeks to save Bent-reshy, the ailing sister of his queen, Neferu-Ra, with the aid of the learned scribe Tehuti-em-heb. As the narrative unfolds, themes of magical confrontations, divine interventions, and the eternal struggle between good and evil emerge, inviting readers into a world where the lines between the mortal and the divine are intricately woven. This captivating mythology sets the stage for more stories that follow in Murray's collection. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
