"This study examines aspects of Seth which suggest that throughout Egyptian history
he was continually worshipped and indeed, at times, enjoyed some prominence, notably
in the Pre- and early-Dynastic periods, during the Hyksos interlude of the Second
Intermediate Period and during the Ramesside era of the 19th and 20th Dynasties. Whilst
previous authors have devoted some scholarship to these various aspects of Seth there
have been very few attempts to bring all these together and to demonstrate that rather
than being something of an 'outsider' to the Egyptian pantheon, he actually had an
important role within it, and as such was continually worshipped throughout ancient
Egyptian history. In sum, the author examines the role of Seth as he was perceived
by the Ancient Egyptians at specific times throughout their history. To achieve this
aim a chronological approach is taken beginning with Seth's role in Predynastic Egyptian
religion and then progressing through the early Dynastic and Old Kingdom, the First
Intermediate period and the Middle Kingdom, the Second Intermediate Period, the New
Kingdom, the Third Intermediate Period, the Late Period, and culminating with the
Graeco-Roman Period up to the death of Cleopatra."--Publisher's website
