Various Egyptian gods including Osiris, Isis, Anubis, Ra, as well as many others are discussed in length along with the myths associated with them. Popular fables such as "The Story of the Shipwrecked Sailor" and the "Story of Two Brothers," are included in a selection of legends. Lastly the work talks of the practice of magic in ancient Egypt and of foreign and animal gods.
