Über dieses E-Book
""Shadow Gods"" explores the intriguing world of dark deities and their significant influence on ancient religious traditions. It argues that understanding gods of death, chaos, and transgression is crucial for a complete picture of ancient belief systems. These figures, often representing humanity's deepest fears, reveal how ancient societies grappled with universal anxieties like death and the unknown. For example, deities like Hades and Anubis played key roles in funerary rites and conceptions of the afterlife, highlighting the psychological impact of mortality.
The book examines various shadow gods across mythologies, drawing from ancient texts, archaeological findings, and scholarly research. It begins by introducing comparative mythology and historical contexts, then progresses through themes of death, chaos, and transgression. Deities such as Set and Loki are analyzed to uncover their roles in embodying societal fears and challenging social norms. This approach provides a more nuanced understanding of how ancient religions used these figures to address the darker aspects of human existence, offering a unique perspective for those interested in religion and history.
