Most of the Egyptian Myths were passed down by word of mouth, which why we only have a complete account of one of the myths - the myth of Osiris, written down by a Greco-Roman historian.
Here are the Principal Gods
Ra: The God of the Sun. He was a child in the early morning, an adult at noon, and an old man at night. During the night, he travelled through the underworld, being reborn at dawn.
Shu and Tefnut: The children of Ra. Shu was the god of the air and held up the sky. Tefnut was the goddess of dew and rain.
Geb and Nut: The offspring of Shu and Tefnut. Geb was the god of the earth and Nut was the goddess of the sky. They were separated by their father, Shu.
Osiris: The first child of Geb and Nut. He was the god of nature and vegetation. He was also the judge of the underworld.
Isis: The daughter of Geb and Nut and the wife of Osiris. She was a beneficent sorceress.
Set: Osiris’ evil brother, the incarnation of evil.
Nepthys: Set’s sister and consort. She loved Osiris and tricked him into having a child with her.
Horus: The son of Osiris, dedicated to avenging his father’s murder.
Anubis: The son of Osiris and Nepthys. He prepared the dead and ushered them to the underworld.
Thoth: The god of learning and the sacred scribe. He was also a benefactor to gods and men.
Hathor: The goddess of joy and love, the protector of women.
Amon: The king of the gods, patron of Pharoahs, and god of fertility.
Khepri: The scarab beetle god who symbolized the ideas of rebirth and eternal life.
Maat: The goddess of truth and justice.
The Pharoah was believed to be descended from the gods and the Egyptians also had animals that were considered to be gods. These animals included Apis the bull, Petesuchos the crocodile, Ba Neb Djedet the sacred ram, and Bennu the bird. They also considered cats and dogs to be holy.
