The Greeks had a myth that explained the Egyptian gods.

The story goes, Zeus was defeated by the Titan monster Typhus and was imprisoned in chains on Olympus. The other God’s had no chance to defeat a monster that could defeat Zeus and so they fled Olympus to save themselves. They took the form of animals as disguises and fled to Egypt where the Egyptians recognized them gods and so worshipped them as human animal hybrids

Eventually, the gods Pan and Apollo went back to Olympus to save Zeus. Pan used his mighty yell to distract the titan while Apollo used his great speed to sprint to Zeus and free him. Then Zeus battled the monster again and won, taking back Olympus.

He then threw down a mountain upon the monster to imprison him for all eternity. Even to this day the monster’s rage boils over from time to time and the mountain erupts with fire as he tries furiously to escape! His prison is Mt. Edna in Sicily, the most active volcano in Europe

Thought it was a cool story so just wanted to share it

As I get older and mature I realize “good vs. evil” is seldom the case. With mythology especially but also in other fictional universes. The Jedi did evil things, super heros did evil things. Villains often have a good reason for their actions. Kinda cool to see my perspective change over the years

Some random teenager; "My family is totally the most insane family in existence!"

Anubis; "Hold my beer."

Anubis + Hades = The Best and Least Problematic Gods in Popular Mythology

In regards to Set…

You may also want to keep in mind that the religion and mythology of Kemet (Egypt) had roughly 4000 years to develop and change, and Set is one of the oldest and mightiest Netjeru (Divinities) of Kemet, right up there with Anpu (Anubis), having even been revered since before the earliest pre-dynastic times. In other words, this divinity has been worshipped in one form or another even since before Egypt was even actually Egypt. His role within the religion and mythology has changed a lot, probably more than most of the other Netjeru. Needless to say, Set vastly predates the Ennead Netjeru—Asar (Osiris), Aset (Isis), Heru-ur (Horus the Elder), etc., and all of their related myths and legends—and thusly, he was only adopted into that much latter form of the Kemetic religion and it’s mythology to fit their narratives and agendas.

Set always symbolizes and represents chaos and many negative and destructive aspects of reality, but he also symbolizes and represents many positive and creative aspects as well. However, ever since he was adopted into to myths about the Ennead, most people have overlooked his many positive traits as his older mythology has been rejected. He is the multifarious and multifaceted divinity, the many faced Netjeru. He may have been the eternal master and origin of Asfet (chaos, destructiveness, negativity, injustice, violence, etc.), but he also defended others against it and held such forces back to allow Kemet to exist in the light of Ma’at (order, creativity, positivity, justice, peace, etc.). He is the patron of magicians (including the helpful priesthoods), and before Aset stole the true-name or Ra, he was also the foremost magicians amongst the Netjeru (afterwards he is second only to Aset). He may have ruled the deserts, dangerous creatures, and all manner of natural and unnatural disasters, but he also provided safe passage through the deserts, held back those same disasters, safeguarded every oasis, and was invoked to ward off evil spirits. He may have been responsible for violence and war, but he also taught the people to be strong and courageous enough to endure, survive and thrive. He ruled over infertility, but he was also invoked to ward off infertility by lovers wanting to conceive children, and for a long time his priesthood would even help with fertility rites and medicines. He ruled over foreigners and foreign lands, but he also helped with trade and travel. There are many more such instances of his positive traits being forgotten or outright ignored as he was demonized by the cults of the Ennead.

…

Also, and I don’t know where you got Apep being a “she, ” when all of the actual texts refer to Apep as a very definite “he.” He’s the umbilical cord of Ra. His myths are also much younger than those of Set, making the myth of Set battling Apep another case of Set’s mythology being retconed. Apep became the chief bad guy of the religion and mythology, taking over some of the things Set originally did. Meanwhile, Set becomes the defender of Ra—just another divinity of war and weather fighting a giant chaos monster—and I can’t help but wonder if this is just a result of other Near-Eastern cultures such as the Canaanites influencing and corrupting the original myths of their Kemetic neighbors during their cultural exchanges. Eventually, much later, Apep gradually fades away from any true religious and mythological significance, being relegated to a scary background prop for Ra’s journey through the Duat (Twelve Hours of Night), and Set once again starts to fill the more traditional negative roles he used to do for the Netjeru as all foreign influences start to get diminished and rejected (including Apep), but this time without any of his positive qualities to go with him, playing villain to the newer and more popular Netjeru of The Ennead.

There are fathers like Raa who genuinely cares about their children...and then there's Cronus

I've always been fascinated with ancient Egypt. This channel puts forth a real interesting take on this subject that I feel refreshing as well as interesting.

Greek mythology: _Zeus cheats on another thousand women_

Egyptian mythology: _Horus actually impregnated Set by nutting on his salad, which Set ate unknowingly_

[Tadpole_Plyrr]

Osiris: *has an affair*

Horus: *feeds Seth poisoned salad*

Seth: *eats poison*

Ra: *gets dethroned*

Isis: *gets beheaded*






Anubis: *just vibing on a boat*

[JoshNtheedrifter]

What about the fact that every time "new gods" were added to the myth story; it was directly related to New Kings taking power (for the powerful shifting control) and them rewriting the control system for their people to value. It's almost like when Kings take over a region and they destroy the monuments and statues of the prior king.

I love Egypt 🇪🇬 from Italy 🇮🇹 we are directly in front of each other in the Mediterranean and this is a wonderful thing🇪🇬🇮🇹❤

[ancientgamer]

This is why Anubis is my favorite.
You have all this drama happening amongst the other gods and then you have Anubis just vibing and dedicating himself to his job.
Not to mention the fact that he was offered the title of the ruler of the dead and just decided to give that title to Osiris just so he could focus more on the job he already had.

The gods of death are usually the good ones in myths

I'm a Sanatani ( Hindu), and I just wanna say The Egyptian, Greek and Hindu mythologies are so amazing and interesting.. Also they share some similarities. Three of these mythologies are really old, had many gods unlike abrahmic religions like Christianity, Islam, jew... With one god. Wish we could know more and more about these ancient mythologies.
