World Mythology
World Mythology is an authoritative and wide-ranging collection of the most important mythological traditions, combining the impact of pure narrative with the background necessary for understanding. Under the direction of Roy Willis, nineteen leading scholars navigate a clear path through the complexities of myth by distilling the essence of each regional tradition and focusing on the most significant figures and enthralling stories. Selected mythical episodes include - the downfall of gods and demons, stories of revenge and metamorphosis, tales of doomed love and travels to the Underworld. There are highly useful summaries of theories about the origins and meaning of myth, plus an examination of themes that recur across a range of civilizations. Superbly illustrated with more than 500 colour photographs, artworks, charts and maps, this is the most accessible guide yet produced to the limitless heritage of the world's imagination.
