Abstract
The article focuses on the worship of the mysterious god Seth thrived long after it waned elsewhere and its dual nature appears in the earliest texts containing myths about the Egyptian gods. It mentions Pyramid Texts also contain early allusions to darker myths. It also mentions lack of evidence for temple dedications to Seth during this period and the emphasis on the god's negative aspects in mythological narratives popularized by Greek writer Plutarch.
