A comprehensive reference to the extraordinary tales and legends of the ancient world's most fascinating and beguiling mythologies. An authoritative A to Z of the mythical figures of two great continents, 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.In the first three sections, author Arthur Cotterell describes the central mythical figures of ancient Greece and Rome, the Celtic heroes and the Nordic gods. Pictorial features focus on important and recurring mythological themes, such as Oracles and Prophecies, Magic and Enchantment, Voyagers, Heroes, Giants, Sorcery and Spells and others. In the final three sections, author Rachel Storm expertly leads us from the flood myths of the western lands and the Ancient Egyptian temples, through the sacred rivers of Central Asia, to the dragon festivals of eastern lands. Pictorial features detail the important mythological themes, such as Yin and Yang, the avatars of Vishnu, demons and black magic and the fascinating incarnations of the mother goddess.
