Green Roger Lancelyn

‘This is the Age of the Heroes.’ From the ominous entry-point of 'The Coming of the Immortals' to the awe-inspiring heroics of 'Perseus the Gorgon-slayer’, this Little Puffin Clothbound Classic offers a wonderful introduction to Classical Greek myth, collecting the most action-packed and exciting tales into a perfectly giftable hardback edition.

Roger Lancelyn Green klasszikusa a világ egyik legrégebbi és legizgalmasabb civilizációjának, az ókori Egyiptomnak a legendáit és mítoszait tárgyalja a lehető legnagyobb alapossággal, gazdagítva azokat a forrásokat, amelyek lehetővé teszik e kor tanulmányozását. Ez a mű Egyiptom meséit tárja elénk istenekről, varázslatról és kalandokról: nagy mítoszokat Ámon-Réről, valamennyi lény teremtőjéről; Íziszről, aki a vizeken keresi halott férjét, Oziriszt; valamint a benumadárról és Thot könyvéről. De vannak benne szórakoztató mesék kincsekről és hőstettekről is, sőt, a világ első Hamupipőke-történetét is megtalálhatjuk benne. Ez a könyv segít nekünk jobban megérteni az ókori egyiptomiak életét és gondolkodásmódját időtálló történeteivel, amelyek minden korosztály olvasóit magukkal ragadják. "Thot pedig ravasz tervet eszelt ki. Elment Honszuhoz, a holdistenhez, és kihívta őt egy dámajátszmára. Honszu nagy hazárdjátékos volt, így a tétek csakhamar magasra szöktek - legfőképpen is a Hold részéről, aki egyenesen a saját fényét tette fel a győzelmére. De esélye sem volt arra, hogy a ravasz Thotot legyőzze, aki addig játszott - ráadásul sikerrel -, míg öt teljes napra elegendő holdvilágot nyert el Honszutól. Ezt az öt napot pedig beillesztette az óév vége és az új esztendő első napja közé. Azelőtt minden év háromszázhatvan napból állt: ezen nem is változtatott, de a minden évben hozzátett öt nap kiigazította a naptár pontosságát. És ez az isteni dámajáték lett az oka annak is, hogy a Holdnak nem maradt annyi fénye, hogy az év minden hónapját végig bevilágítsa, kénytelen apránként megfogyatkozni, hogy aztán lassan új erőre kaphasson."
