The Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt is more of an introduction to its subject than an exhaustive exploration of it. Leonard Everett Fisher touches on thirteen gods and goddesses that form the basis of Egyptian mythology, elaborating on their origins, roles, and portrayal in Egyptian art in a handful of concise paragraphs.
