ABSTRACT
THE Myth of Horus is justly one of the most celebrated of Egyptian myths, yet hitherto no complete translation of the various texts which compose it has appeared in any language, though the actual texts and reliefs have been published long since by Naville, Textes relatifs au Mythe d'Horus recueillis dans le Temple d'Edfou, Geneva, 1870. Now that the magnificent new edition of Chassinat has appeared, it seems an opportune moment to attempt to remedy this deficiency by giving a complete translation of all these texts, accompanied, however, by the minimum of notes. This and the following articles aim solely at providing a connected translation, and do not offer or pretend to offer a detailed commentary.
