    Explore Egyptian GodsIt is tempting to see ancient Egyptian religion as something relatively static, with a single pantheon whose nature and activities did not change throughout the three-thousand-year span of the Dynastic Period. However, nothing could be further from the truth. Throughout Egyptian history, we see that gods who had once been favored were set aside or had their roles altered in order to make way for gods whose cults became more popular, while political changes, such as the conquest of Egypt by Alexander the Great, ushered in cultural and religious exchanges that both affected native Egyptian religious practices and also had an impact on the religious beliefs of Greece and Rome.Because the Egyptian pantheon is vast, even if one leaves out the syncretized deities, it is not possible for this volume to present a comprehensive overview of ancient Egyptian religion and myth. Instead, only a select number of deities and concepts are discussed here. Some of these are more well-known deities, while others might not be as familiar to modern readers. However, this book still offers a fascinating glimpse into ancient Egyptian religion and culture and the richness that was life in ancient Egypt.Within this book, you''ll find the following the Egyptian gods and topics covered:Amen (Amun, Amon, Ammon)Anubis (Anpu, Inpw)Aten (Aton)Atum (Tum, Tem, Atem, Temu)Bastet (Bast, Boubastis, Pasht)The Book of the Dead and Other Funerary TextsThe Four Sons of HorusGeb (Seb, Keb, Kebb, Gebb)Hapy (Hapi)HathorHorus (Hor, Her, Heru, Har)Imhotep (Imouthes)IsisKhnum (Chnum)Khonsu (Khons, Chons)Maat (Ma''at, Ma''et, Mayet)Nefertem (Nefertum)Neith (Neit)Nephthys (Nebt-het)Nun (Noun, Nu)The Ogdoad of HermopolisOsirisPtahRa (Re, Pre)Serapis (Sarapis, Userhapi)Set (Seth, Sutekh)Sobek (Suchos)ThothAnd more!So if you want to learn about Egyptian gods, scroll up and click the "add to cart" button!

Algunos de los mitos estaban basados en gente y eventos reales. Estos héroes realizaron cosas fantásticas, algunas incluso documentadas por sus enemigos.Los vikingos nacieron de una época de dificultades. Las historias de sus primeras incursiones datan de los años 790, durante la Edad Media europea. Este fue un período glacial peligroso, ya que el ciclo climático de mil años se convirtió en el más frío que nuestro mundo había experimentado en 7000 años. Sin duda, el punzante frío ayudó a estas personas del norte de Europa a disipar cualquier complacencia que pudieran haber sentido durante la época más cálida del Holoceno medio. La muerte estaba esperando en la puerta, y los débiles y apocados habrían muerto con este cambio climático. Solo los fuertes y astutos podrían sobrevivir.Al igual que sus sagas y héroes, los dioses nórdicos eran un grupo de individuos rudos con un fuerte carácter y debilidades humanas.Algunas de las preguntas y temas incluidos en este libro son:Cómo el cambio climático contribuyó a la personalidad despiadada de los vikingosLas sagas islandesasLa Guardia VaregaLos vikingos en AméricaLos vikingos en SiciliaLa conquista normanda de InglaterraLos BerserkersLos Vanir contra los AesirLos Nueve ReinosLos gigantes de JotunheimDivinidades menoresCuentos de Odín y ThorLoki y RagnarökrY mucho más...D¡Compre este libro ahora para conocer más sobre la mitología nórdica!

Los dioses y diosas sufren ataques de celos, se enamoran, se enfadan cuando se sienten engañados, y otorgan bendiciones cuando son honrados. De igual modo, los héroes son de proporciones épicas: su fuerza, velocidad y habilidad los separan de otros mortales; pero, como todos los humanos, sufren de dolores, enfermedades y muerte.Este libro es una ventana al pasado. A través de él podrás disfrutar de historias entretenidas mientras aprendes sobre los mitos griegos. Mitos que subyacen en las raíces de la civilización occidental, marcando su cultura y lenguaje.

    A Captivating Collection of the Most Popular Egyptian MythsIt can be challenging to find a comprehensive and engaging collection of Egyptian myths considering the number of versions and translations available. However, look no further as you have found a captivating book that includes many of the most popular Egyptian myths in an easy-to-read format.This book is divided into four parts. The first, titled "Cosmological Narratives," contains myths concerning the creation of the world and how the ancient Egyptians understood the structure of the Underworld and the passage to the afterlife."Myths of the Gods" contains the great myths of the gods Ra, Isis, Osiris, Horus, and Set.The third section contains two political myths, the tale of the birth of Hatshepsut and "The Tale of the Famine," both of which are stories created by rulers to consolidate their power by claiming divine intervention and favor.Other stories, similar to what we today would call fairy tales, make up the last section of the book, and are full of magical wonders, animals that speak, and gods who reveal themselves to human beings and take an active role in their affairs.In this book, you'll find the following Egyptian myths and topics covered Creation Myths The Birth of Osiris The Tale of Isis and Osiris The Lament of Isis and Nephthys The Battle of Horus and Set The Birth of Queen Hatshepsut The Tale of the Famine The Shipwrecked Sailor The Two Brothers The Princess and the Demon The Taking of Joppa Two Tales of Setne KhamwasBecause the Egyptian pantheon was so extensive and fluid, a select glossary is included at the end. The glossary also contains definitions of select terms that are important for understanding some of the concepts in the stories, such as the Egyptian classification of parts of the soul. A brief timeline of ancient Egyptian history also follows the introduction.

    Captivating Stories of the Gods, Sagas, and HeroesThis book gives an overview of Norse mythology, telling some of the stories of the gods, giants and other creatures of that lost era before history began.Though the world came to know of the Norse and their legends through Roman interaction about the time of Christ, most of what we came to know were handed down from folk tales gathered by native writers like Snorri Sturluson (c. 1179-1241). This was from a time when the Norse had already been converted to Christianity. Some of what Sturluson wrote was clearly influenced by Christian beliefs of the time. As with all sources, we have to assume at least a little bit of bias was involved. The age of belief in the Norse gods had ended. We can only guess how much of those old beliefs were left out because they may have been incompatible with the new beliefs of Christendom. Sturluson gathered the tales in a work now known as the Prose Edda.Several anonymous writers of the pre-Christian era created poems which have collected in what is now called the Poetic Edda. These pre-date Sturluson's work and thus are far more likely to give us insights into the thinking and attitudes of the early Norse people.Danish scholar Saxo Grammaticus gave us a Latin language version of Danish history, Gesta Danorum, written in the twelfth century. But even earlier, we have more matter-of-fact writing of Roman historian Tacitus in the first century, discussing the tribes of the region they called Germania.As with most stories, it's best to start at the beginning. And as with any story of gods, we start with the Norse version of creation.Within this book, you'll find the answers to these questions and more. Just some of the questions and topics covered include Norse Creation Story The Nine Realms Gods and the "Giants" of Jötunheim Midgard and the Humans Elves, Dwarves, Trolls and Valkyries Odin, Frigg, Thor, and Loki The Death of Baldr Conflict Between the Realms English Days of the Week And more!Scroll to the top and select the "Add to Cart" button now to learn more about Norse mythology

    A Fascinating Guide to Understanding the Sagas, Gods, Heroes, and Beliefs of the VikingsThis book on Norse Mythology is part of the new series "Greek Mythology - Norse Mythology - Egyptian Mythology" that is written by the best-selling author Matt Clayton. In this ultimate guide on Norse Mythology, you will discover captivating stories of the Gods, heroes, and beliefs of the Vikings.This book is broken into two parts: Heroes and Sagas The Norse GodsThis book is jam-packed with fascinating facts and stories. For instance, it covers all that you need to know about the nine realms as well as captivating tales of Odin, Thor, Loki, and Ragnarök.The Vikings of Norse poetry and saga were a fearless lot, and their tales were frequently tragic. Some, if not all, of the myths were based on real people and real events. These heroes accomplished many fantastic feats, some of them even documented by their enemies.The Vikings were born out of an age of hardship. Tales of their earliest raids come to us from the 790s, during the early European Middle Ages. This was a period of dangerous iciness as the thousand-year climate cycle dipped to the coldest our world had experienced in 7,000 years. No doubt, the punishing cold for these people of Northern Europe helped to dispel any complacency they may have felt during the warmer, mid-Holocene epoch. Death was sitting on their doorstep, and the weak and timid would have died from the change in climate. Only the strong and cunning would survive.Like their sagas and heroes, the Norse gods were also a rough and tumble group of individuals with strong character and human frailties.Just some of the questions and topics covered in this book include: How Climate Change Made The Vikings Ruthless The Icelandic Sagas The Varangian Guard Vikings in America The Vikings of Sicily Norman Conquest of England Berserkers Vanir against the Aesir The Nine Realms The Giants of Jotunheim Lesser Divine Beings Tales of Odin and Thor Loki and Ragnarök And much more!Buy the book now and learn more about norse mythology

    A Fascinating Guide to Understanding the Ancient Greek Religion with Its Gods, Goddesses, Monsters and MortalsThe ancient Greeks were explorers in many ways. They traveled to new places, creating colonies in strange lands far from their original homes. They were survivors. They were honorable thieves. They used their cunning to explore the frontiers of philosophy, and they wrested from the chaos of the surrounding wilderness the building blocks of civilization.Though the Greeks were late to the game of writing, what they wrote became an important part of our world's heritage. Greek heroes taught us many lessons, from Homer's poetry about war and a warrior's return home to the tales of Cadmus, Jason, Herakles and even Oedipus.The myths of Greek heroes give us a glimpse beyond the edge of history, into the lives of very real people. How much of their tales are true, we may never know. But this book will present their tales in a new light, hopefully making their experiences a bit more real and perhaps shining a light on what may have really happened behind the distortions of time and generations of misunderstanding.This book is broken into four parts. The first will explore Greek heroes, what they were like and what they accomplished. The second part of the book will tackle Greek religion-the gods and goddesses which establish the backdrop against which Greek legends were formed.In the third part of the book, we take a close look at the myths of Greek monsters. And finally, in the fourth part, we explore the possible meaning behind the literal words of Greek mythology. Early in the written history of ancient Greece, we have the great Athenian lawgiver, Solon. He attempted to tame the unruly beast within the heart of each Greek hero. They were selfish, each and every one of them. But they also had a code of honor that helped them rein in their selfishness. So, we will end the book with Solon, who established laws so unpopular with the wicked that the lawgiver left Athens on an extended vacation so that others would not be able to talk him out of the laws he had handed down. But we will start with the heroes who came before Greek history began.Just some of the topics covered in this book include Greek Heroes Honorable Thieves Legends of Pride Legend of Cadmus, Founder of Thebes, Greece The Illiad The Odyssey Myths of Wonder Cecrops and Dragons Greek Religion The Burdens of Selfishness and Hubris The Ages of Man Morals of the Gods Zeus Giving Birth to a New Kind of Chaos Greek Monsters Typhon and Echidna Perseus and Cetus Herakles and His Labors Greek Connection to Civilization Foundations of Greek Thought And MoreGet your copy of the book now and learn more about Greek mythology

Greek and Roman mythology is no different: enfolded in grand stories of gods and heroes are some of the ways the ancient Greeks and Romans understood many of the more common aspects of their world.Although the gods and goddesses were powerful immortal beings, they were in many ways still very like the humans who worshiped them and who created these tales. The gods and goddesses are stricken with jealousy; they fall in love; they get angry when they feel slighted, and bestow gifts when they are honored. Likewise, the heroes are larger than life: they're stronger, faster, and more skilled than ordinary mortals, but they are still subject to pain, illness, and death.Within this book, you'll find the following myths and topics covered The Creation of the Titans The Birth of the Olympians and the Downfall of the Titans Prometheus and Epimetheus The Birth of the Muses The Olympian Gods and Goddesses Hera, Queen of the Gods Hermes, Trickster, and Messenger of the Gods Grey-Eyed Athena, Goddess of Wisdom and Strategy Hephaestus, God of Fire and Smithcraft Artemis, Virgin Goddess of the Hunt Apollo, God of Music and Healing Dionysus, God of Wine and Ritual Madness Ares, God of War, and Aphrodite, Goddess of Love The Story of Demeter and Persephone Demigods, Heroes, and Monsters The Story of Perseus Heracles Theseus and the Minotaur The Trojan Connection What History and an Analysis of Myth Tell Us Founding of Rome Purely Roman Gods The Creatures of Roman Mythology Borrowings from Etruria Influence of the Greek Pantheon Greek Creatures Adopted by the Romans Roman Conquests of the Celts Truth Behind the Roman Gods And MoreGet the book now and learn more about Classical Mythology

    Explora los Fascinantes Mitos de los Dioses y Héroes GriegosAunque los dioses y diosas griegos eran seres inmortales y poderosos, estos eran muy similares a los humanos que los adoraban.

De igual modo, los héroes son de proporciones épicas: su fuerza, velocidad y habilidad los separan de otros mortales; pero, como todos los humanos, sufren de dolores, enfermedades y muerte. Este libro es una ventana al pasado. A través de él podrás disfrutar de historias entretenidas mientras aprendes sobre los mitos griegos.
