Book Overview

Encyclopedia of Mythical Creatures: Egyptian Mythology explores the meanings attached to supernatural beings and sacred animals in Egyptian tradition. The book considers how myth expresses ideas about order, chaos, divine power, ritual, death, renewal, and the relationship between humans and the sacred.

Featured entries include Apep, the immense serpent of chaos who battles Ra during the sun god’s nightly journey, and the Apis Bull, a sacred animal associated with Ptah, Memphis, oracle traditions, Osiris, and the Serapeum of Saqqara. The work also discusses the visual and symbolic dimensions of these figures.
