The world's great fables, sagas and legends dramatically retold.
Myths are the greatest stories ever told. Passed down over
millennia, they are the templates for all our stories, with their
eternal themes of creation and destruction, fate and cunning,
heroism and cruelty, sensuality and war. Retold here are nearly 200
myths - from Prometheus defying Zeus to create man to the
destruction of Troy; and from valiant battles against Frost Giants
and Cyclopes to the heroic quests for the Golden Fleece and Holy
Grail - including a commentary on their origins, common themes and
meanings. Compellingly written, concise and with each myth
illustrated with an iconic image, Myths in Minutes is the perfect
way to understand and enjoy the world's major fables. Includes the
great Ancient Greek, Roman and Egyptian legends: The Labours of
Heracles; The Gods of Olympus; Zeus defeats the Titans; Hades and
the Underworld; Theseus and the Minotaur; The Gorgons; Perseus and
Andromeda; Oedipus and the Sphinx; The Judgment of Paris; The
Trojan Horse; The Odyssey; Jason and The Golden Fleece; Romulus,
Remus and the Founding of Rome; Mars, the God of War; The Eye of
Ra; The Murder and Resurrection of Osiris; and more. The best of
Celtic, Norse, Eastern, American, Oceanic and African myths:
Gilgamesh and the Great Flood; Odin's Great Sacrifice; Thor's
Adventures in the Land of the Giants; The Treachery of Loki;
Ragnarok - The Last Battle; The Eight Immortals; The War Between
the Sun and the Stars; Quetzalcoatl, The Plumed Serpent; Ganesh,
the Elephant-headed; Ananse and the Sky God; King Arthur and the
Knights of the Round Table; the age-old stories of the Aboriginal
Dreaming; and many; many more.
