The Great Myths #6: The Egyptian Book of the Dead


Listen Later

An episode from 2/19/21: In this third episode on Egyptian mythology, I give a brief introduction to the famous Book of the Dead, and then read from the longest chapter in the book, Chapter 125. Both come from Miriam Lichtheim's Ancient Egyptian Literature, vol. 2: The New Kingdom.

Other episodes on Egyptian mythology are here.
