Discover the world's greatest myths and legends - from Greek
mythology to Norse mythology - in this comprehensive guide. What
did Japanese mythology say about the beginning of the Universe? How
did Oedipus become the classic tragic hero in Greek mythology? Who
brought about the origin of death in Maori mythology? Combining
vivid retellings of famous legends with over 1,000 illustrations of
characters, famous artworks, and artefacts, Myths and Legends makes
it easier than ever before to understand the stories that are
central to every culture. Delve into the well-known tales of the
ancient Greeks, which hold the key to such phrases as "Achilles'
heel", as well as the lesser-known but richly colourful myths of
Africa and the Americas. Explore global ideas such as fate and
fortune, and the Underworld, and find out about the key characters
- heroes, tricksters, and gods - that make up each myth system.
Filled with the cultural and religious meanings behind each legend,
and the influence they have had both in their own time and in
today's world, this book is a must-have for all mythology
enthusiasts.
