This is a comprehensive reference source to the ancient world's
most fascinating mythologies. It is a visual dictionary with 1000
entries and more than 600 fine-art images. It covers every aspect
of Classical, Celtic and Norse mythology, folklore and legend,
bringing the past to life. It is a lively and informed narrative by
one of the world's leading authorities on the subject. Special
spreads compare and contrast key mythological and archetypal themes
in the different cultures. Hundreds of beautiful images highlight
every aspect of these heroic characters and their tales, from the
Olympian Gods to the Nordic warriors and nature gods of the Celts.
This encyclopedia of mythology brings together the three
outstanding traditions of Europe: the Classical legends of ancient
Greece and Rome; the fairytale myths of the Celtic world; and from
Northern Europe, tales of Germanic gods, Nordic warriors and
giants. They form the core of European mythological thought,
revealing the power of love in Helen of Troy, the mystery of death
in the tale of King Arthur and the challenge of the unknown in the
voyages of Brendan the Navigator. Pictorial features focus on
recurring mythological themes, such as Oracles, Magic, Voyages,
Heroes, and Spells, making this book universal in theme and
timeless in appeal. The A-Z structure of the book makes it easy to
find hundreds of characters, significant events, locations and
sites of interest, stories and symbols.
