Infanzie divine. Tradizioni e modelli mitici dell’Egitto faraonico

In ancient Egypt the role of children and their position within society are an important focus of a variety of discourses, practices, and modes of interaction that concern both the human and divine sphere. The paper aims to investigate the ideological conceptualisation of the class of child deities within the ancient Egyptian mythological tradition, addressing the two specific cultural models upon which that category is built: the solar-child and the Horus child.
