Top Egypt Stories on GatherTales
Egypt's mythology is one of the oldest and most influential in the world, with gods, pharaohs, and spirits playing central roles in its stories. The god "Osiris," who was murdered by his brother Set and resurrected by his wife Isis, is a key figure in Egyptian mythology, symbolizing death, resurrection, and the afterlife. The story of "Ra," the sun god who travels across the sky each day and battles the serpent Apophis every night, represents the eternal struggle between order and chaos. Egypt's literary tradition is also rich, with the "Epic of Sinuhe," a tale of exile and return, being one of the oldest known works of literature. The influence of ancient Egyptian mythology can still be seen in modern literature and popular culture, with figures like Cleopatra and Tutankhamun remaining iconic.
