Legends of the Gods: The Egyptian Texts

Budge collects and translates Egyptian myths, divine narratives, and sacred stories that illuminate the personalities and roles of the gods. Historically important as an early anthology of Egyptian religious literature, the volume gives readers access to key mythic traditions in translated form with explanatory notes.

E. A. Wallis Budge (1857–1934) was a British Egyptologist, museum curator, and prolific translator whose editions of Egyptian funerary and religious texts became foundational in the study of ancient religion and occult reception. His publications helped popularize ancient Egyptian spirituality in both scholarly and esoteric circles.
