World Mythology - Oxford Dictionary

iOS Universal

"An excellent overview of world mythology. I am seriously considering using this as one of the required texts for my theology class."Louise Beckley, Boise State University

Powered by Handmark and Written by a leading scholar of ancient civilizations, A Dictionary of World Mythology presents the powerful gods of Greece, Rome, and Scandinavia, the more mystical deities of Buddhist and Hindu India, and the stern spirits of the African and American continents together in one fascinating application. Drawing upon hundreds of myths from around the globe, Arthur Cotterell not only reveals the vast differences in these civilizations, but also demonstrates the unity of mankind in its fundamental need for explanations of the unknown.
