Activity Overview

There are many recurring themes in Egyptian Mythology. Most myths involve three basic themes: the cycle of birth and rebirth, the fight between good and evil, and the judgement of the dead. In this activity, students will identify themes from Egyptian myths, and support their choices with details from the text. They should choose at least one theme and find two myths in which they appear. Teachers may choose myths and themes, or let the students decide.
