A new guide to world mythology
“Myths are sacred stories. They tell of the creation of the world; the emergence of gods and the first men and women; the adventures of heroes and the audacity of tricksters; the nature of heaven and the underworld; and of what will happen when time comes to an end.”
This new companion to world mythology introduces the main themes of myths, retells many of the most fascinating stories from around the globe, offers revealing insights into themes such as the role of myths in ancient civilizations, and provides a useful “Who’s who” of mythology.
