The Egyptian myths : a guide to the ancient gods and legends
This accessible, authoritative guide to Egyptian mythology explores how the ancient Nile-dwellers explained the world around them. It delves into the origins of life, the creation and evolution of the world, and the reigns of the gods on earth, before introducing us to Egypt's deities in the natural environment; the inventive ways in which the Egyptians dealt with the invisible forces all around them; and the trials and tribulations of the life hereafter. This is the perfect introduction for modern readers to the mysteries of Egyptian mythology, including such well known figures as Isis and Osiris, Horus and Seth, but also less familiar figures as Geb, Nemty and Shu. Much more than a straightforward retelling of the ancient legends, 'The Egyptian Myths' will introduce the reader to a new (yet ancient) way of understanding the world.
Goden van Egypte
Ingewikkelde mythologische verhalen vol avontuur, geweld en erotiek vertellen over de duizenden goden van de oude Egyptenaren. We kunnen onze schouders erover ophalen, maar dan doen we die eeuwenoude godsdienst toch tekort. Meer dan drieduizend jaar lang hebben deze goden mensen aangesproken die tot de meest ontwikkelde volkeren van de oudheid behoorden. Alleen als we hun geloof serieus nemen, kunnen we iets van hun cultuur begrijpen. Daarom staan in dit boek de goden van Egypte centraal. We gaan zoeken naar de structuur van de godenwereld en de principes van hun onderlinge betrekkingen. We ontdekken zo de idealen van de Egyptenaren, hun wereldbeeld, en hun gevoel voor orde en rechtvaardigheid. Al die exotische goden blijken vaak personificaties van natuurkrachten te zijn, of projecties van ethische beginselen: dezelfde krachten en principes waarmee ook de moderne mens worstelt. Culturen zijn wel veranderd, maar het menselijk brein niet. Na een hoofdstuk over het ontstaan van de kosmos komen secties gewijd aan de hemel, de aarde en de onderwereld. Samen geven die een Egyptisch antwoord op de universele vragen: Waar komt de wereld vandaan? Waartoe zijn wij op aarde? Hoe kiezen we tussen goed en kwaad? Wat gebeurt er na onze dood? Daarna onderzoeken we de transformatie van de Egyptische religie na afloop van de faraonische periode. Daarbij trekken we de lijn door naar het heden. Ook tegenwoordig zijn de Egyptische goden nog springlevend in de populaire cultuur van film, strips, fantasy, tatoeages en commercie. De auteurs zijn als egyptoloog werkzaam bij binnen- en buitenlandse wetenschappelijke instellingen en zijn vaak specialist op het gebied waarover hun bijdrage gaat.
