This source discusses and compares the culture of ancient Greek and of ancient Egypt on
their religious beliefs and literature. This source discusses that Egyptian culture was very
complex on moral behavior and truth. This source also discusses that in Greek culture there was
no strong opinion on afterlife and morality. Also, many Greek heroes and Gods were admired for
their rhetoric and ability to lie. I believe this source is a "scholarly" source, becausethis source
had researched and used other sources within it. I believe that this source will contribute to me
paper, because it compares the Egyptian culture and the Greek culture with their beliefs of their
Gods.

change though different eras. The expansion of kingdoms effected other cultures religions, kings
