The Queen Of Gods

Gods & Goddesses List This god list is a simplified version compared to mythology. Due to the span of Ancient Egyptian history, many gods and goddesses took on multiple roles over the span of time (as demonstrated in The Queen Of Gods Trilogy by Hathor's multitude of aspects). Some of the information below is specific to the Forgotten Gods universe. The list is not exhaustive, and only includes gods/goddesses who have appeared in the universe. Please see the author notes at the end of each book for more information. The family links the Ancient Egyptians formed between their gods weren't meant to represent blood family, but aspect ties. This is why many of the gods and goddesses are consorts with their siblings. In the context of the Forgotten Gods Universe, none of the gods are related to one another by blood, but many choose to create family bonds. Asterisks denote main characters/love interests within the Forgotten Gods Universe books. Abu* - a minor god of light. In the Forgotten Gods Universe: he serves under Ra.
