Description

This title deals with the myths and legends of the ancient worlds, from Greece, Rome and Egypt to the Norse and Celtic lands, through Persia and India to China and the Far East.

It is a comprehensive A to Z of the classic stories of gods and goddesses, heroes, warriors and mythical beasts, with copious cross-references.

Over 1000 alphabetical entries describe the central mythical figures of each culture and their importance to the ancient civilizations of their day.

It is beautifully illustrated with over 1000 images spanning fifteen centuries of fine art, from the ancient world to the present, including specially commissioned artworks.

It presents superb pictorial spreads on the mythical themes and symbols central to each culture.

Timeless in scope and appeal, it is a classic and enduring reference work by two expert authorities.

In this important volume, the mythologies of the ancient world are brought to life.

In the first half, author Arthur Cotterell describes the central mythical figures of classical Greece and Rome, the Celtic heroes and the Nordic gods. In the second part, author Rachel Storm expertly leads us through the powerful pantheon of gods and goddesses of the East from Ancient Egypt, through Central Asia, to the dragon festivals of eastern lands.

Pictorial features focus on recurring mythological themes, including heroes, oracles and prophecies.

This comprehensive guide to the myths and legends of two great continents is timeless in its universal appeal.
