El rico panorama de la mitología del antiguo Egipto perdura hasta nuestra época a través de las pinturas en tumbas, inscripciones en templos y textos en papiros. Este relato empieza con las leyendas de la creación de Heliópolis, Menfis y Hermópolis, ilustrando los esfuerzos intelectuales de los egipcios para explicar los comienzos del mundo. Los mitos que siguen abarcan desde historias de los dioses -el asesinato de Osiris y la venganza de Horus, Isis y los siete escorpiones, Sajmet y el exterminio virtual de la humanidad- hasta fábulas tales como la del Marinero Náufrago y la de la Isla Encantada.

Depuis des millénaires, temples et tombeaux, papyrus et inscriptions dans la vallée du Nil attestent la richesse de la mythologie égyptienne. Transmises par les scribes, les prêtres et les conteurs, sont venues jusqu''à nous ces légendes qui parlaient des origines de l''homme, de la persistance de la vie après la mort. Ce livre se fait l''écho des cosmogonies issues d''antiques traditions. Il relate les mythes où s''inscrivent des épisodes du destin des dieux - le meurtre d''Osiris et la vengeance d''Horus, Isis et les sept scorpions, Sekhmet et le massacre virtuel de l''humanité. Il donne enfin leur place aux récits fantastiques, tels ceux du " Marin naufragé " et de l'' "Ile enchantée ". Reflet du profane comme du sacré, quête du savoir ultime, plongée dans l''imaginaire, les mythes et légendes de l''Egypte ancienne fondent la conception du monde que s''est donnée la société qui les a engendrés.
