PLATE III
1. Amen-ḥotep
The divinization of men is by no means restricted to Egyptian mythology. For an interesting parallel in Indo-Chinese religion see infra, p. 260, and for the corresponding artistic development see Plate V.
2. I-m-ḥotep
This scholar became so famous that ultimately he was believed to be of divine ancestry and was regarded as a son of the god Ptaḥ.
3. The Zodiacal Signs
This picture, dating from the Roman period, shows the blending of Egyptian and Classical conceptions. See pp. 57, 65.
