Mythology is more exciting than any crime novel, more brutal than any horror movie, and more passionate than any romance. What was the name of the sea god in Greek mythology? What were the ten labors of Hercules? Answers to such typical questions along the lines of "What was that again?" can be found in this wonderful reference work that invites you to browse. The focus of the book is on Greek and Roman mythology, but it also covers Northern European figures like King Arthur and Beowulf, lesser-known legends from Egypt and Asia, as well as the myths of Latin American cultures such as the Maya, Aztecs, and Incas.
