Larousse Encyclopedia of Mythology

Vast compendium of global mythological traditions.

If you're fascinated by the rich tapestries of mythology that have captivated civilizations throughout history, "Larousse Encyclopedia of Mythology" is your treasury. Think of it as a portal to the collective imagination of humanity, a place where you'll find not just Zeus and Hercules but also encounter the lesser-known deities and tales from corners of the world you might not have explored yet. It's like a world tour of mythology in one volume, inviting you to delve into the beliefs that have shaped cultures across the globe.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

A comprehensive and renowned guide to world mythology, this classic work stands as a monumental achievement of years of scholarship. The sources of human civilization are explored in depth, including not only the classic Greek and Roman myths of antiquity, but also the unfamiliar mythologies of cultures beyond our own—from Peru to Persia; from Tahiti to Togoland. The gods and legends of every part of the world are revealed in all their splendor, with an imaginative and highly readable text accompanied by authentic paintings, sculpture, symbols, idols, and ritual objects. The first and most famous complete encyclopedia of world mythology. Nearly 600 illustrations, many in full color, of ancient, primitive and exotic art.
