“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.
