In this 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 Græco−Roman Age. The principal 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 | EGYPTIAN MYTH AND LEGEND Donald Mackenzie EGYPTIAN MYTH AND LEGEND Table of Contents EGYPTIAN MYTH AND Donald CHAPTER I.
