The Ancient Egyptians worshipped many gods and goddesses. Ra, the sun, was the creator of all things. His son Shu held up the sky, Nut, dividing her from her twin, Geb, who became the earth. But the most famous of these gods were Isis, the loyal goddess of the home, and Osiris, the god of the underworld.
In his latest work on non-fiction, the distinguished artist and writer Leonard Everett Fisher describes thirteen of the most important Egyptian gods, giving a concise and clear account of their parentage, powers, and images. Inspired by the art and hieroglyphs of Ancient Egypt, Fisher's illustrations pay homage to the period, but with a boldness and freshness inspired by our own time.
