Spinning the ferocious lioness Hathor a string of stories to lure the 'Distant Goddess' back to Egypt
An ancient Egyptian myth that anticipates Arabian Nights and the Tales of Schehezerade?
(Excerpt from THE FORBIDDEN GLYPHS, Amazon Kindle)
He drew her attention to an image carved into a wall, showing Thoth as a baboon adoring an angry lioness.
“Nothing is new. In a myth that anticipates the Arabian Nights, Thoth was sent into the desert in the form of a baboon to try to locate the goddess Hathor and lure her back home with him. It seems the rampaging Destroyer of Humankind and Goddess of Love, had thrown a huff like a desert dust storm and turned her back on Egypt, loping off into the desert. How did the god of words,Thoth, win her back without being devoured? The little trickster spun the lioness a string of stories, like Shehezerade, drawing her step by step across the desert, charming her all the way home to Mother Nile.”
