UXL Encyclopedia of World Mythology
eBook version- Published by U·X·L
A culture's mythology is more than just a collection of stories and characters. When students examine myths in classes across the curriculum or when myths and heroes come up in everyday life, they act as a window into the beliefs and values of ancient civilizations. This new five-volume set from U·X·L will help students with the plot points, the historical context, and the mythological allusions they need to fully understand how mythologies not only reflect cultures of old but also remain meaningful in society today.
Entry topics include:
- Gods and goddesses
- Heroes and other key characters
- Motifs and global themes
- Major myths
- National or cultural mythologies
Coverage spans a diversity of cultures, including standard Greek/Roman entries as well as Native North and South American traditions, Norse mythology, Asian Pacific mythology, Judeo-Christian tradition, and Islamic and Hindu mythologies. Full-color inserts for each volume enhance the reader's understanding of the text.
Review:
"Both depth and detail are truly impressive. Clear writing, thoughtful analysis, and broad coverage make this set an extremely attractive purchase."
