""A Comparison Of The Moral Results Of Egyptian And Grecian Mythology"" is a book written by Henry Stewart Cunningham and published in 1857. The book explores the differences in the moral teachings and values found in the mythologies of ancient Egypt and Greece.

The book is divided into chapters that examine various aspects of the two mythologies, including their creation stories, their depictions of the afterlife, and their views on ethics and morality. Cunningham draws on a wide range of sources, including ancient texts and archaeological evidence, to support his arguments and provide a detailed analysis of the two mythologies.Throughout the book, Cunningham emphasizes the importance of studying mythology not only as a means of understanding ancient cultures, but also as a way of exploring universal human themes and values. He argues that the moral teachings found in mythologies can still be relevant to modern society and can provide valuable insights into the human condition.Overall, ""A Comparison Of The Moral Results Of Egyptian And Grecian Mythology"" is a thoughtful and well-researched exploration of two of the most influential mythologies in human history. It offers a valuable perspective on the differences between these two traditions and the impact they had on the societies that created them.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
