4.0

Pantheon is a raunchy, truthful retelling of the Egyptian creation myth and the battle between Set and Horus. Starting with the creation of the world and going through until the crowning of the first human pharaoh, this book never lets up on the humour and poking fun at the incestuous and impossible relationships between the deities. A fun book for those adults wanting a graphic (and I do mean that literally!) novel to introduce them to the story.
