The Mythology Book

Gods, heroes and monsters from Greek, Norse, Egyptian and other traditions are grouped by culture and by recurring theme. Each myth is retold briefly and then set against its origins, with artwork, family trees and timelines showing how figures relate to one another. Common patterns such as creation, flood and journeys to the underworld are traced across traditions rather than left isolated. A closer look: • Myths organised by civilisation and by shared theme • Diagrams tracing the relationships between deities and heroes • Notes on how these stories reached later art and literature • Concise retellings suited to reference or steady reading Students of classics and religion, writers seeking source material and general readers will find this DK Publishing guide at Boipoka.
