Gr. 6-12. Dividing his text into brief, manageable segments, Nardo offers solid information on Egypt's early history, and then uses fascinating myths--about Isis, Horus, Ra, and others--to explain aspects of Egyptian culture and spirituality and show similarities to and differences from Western tradition. Each chapter begins with background about the myth and the cultural basis for the belief explored in the story. A straightforward summary of the myth follows, with a question-and-answer review and commentary by historians and religious scholars rounding out the chapter. Some myths encompass generations of gods; others are concerned with concepts such as compassion, courage, and reverence. As with other books in the Mythology series, this one uses attractive black-and-white sketches to depict the more dramatic events and includes chapter notes, a glossary, and Web sites.
