Product Description
Review
This dictionary not only lists famous Ancient Egyptian gods and goddesses (such as Hathor, Isis, Osiris and Geb), but also foreign and lesser-known deities, from Aken to Yamm. It presents all those worshipped at some point in Ancient Egyptian history. The information of each god and goddess given include the deity's attributes, including sceptres, crowns and animal form. Illustrated with a few black and white illustrations, it is a most useful reference for students of Egyptology and mythology.

Good overview of ancient egyptian pantheon,
By Bruckschwaiger Karl (Vienna, Austria) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Dictionary of Egyptian Gods and Goddesses (Paperback)
Although I used this book for learning english terms of egyptology it was quite entertainig too. For a dictionary the author applies a quite polemical view, take the damnation of plutarch and his made-up Osiris legend for example. Although the drawings are nice and clear the reader should use a picture book of epytian gods and goddesses on the side.
