Product Description
Product Description
In this volume three ancient mythologies are brought to life: the Classical mythology of ancient Greece and Rome; the fairytale myths of the Celtic world; and from Northern Europe, tales of Germanic gods, Nordic warriors and fearsome giants. For maximum accessibility, each entry is listed in A-Z order, detailing characters, locations, and sites of interest, significant events, stories and symbols. Throughout, the ancient tales are brought to life by a wealth of imagery and including specially commissioned illustrations. Pictorial features also focus on recurring mythological themes, such as oracles, magic, voyages, heroes, and spells.
