Passed down over millennia, the great myths are the templates for all our stories, with their eternal themes of creation and destruction, fate and cunning, heroism and cruelty, sensuality and war. Retold here are nearly 200 myths--from Prometheus defying Zeus to create man, to the destruction of Troy; from the reign of the sun god Ra in Egypt to the one-eyed, raven-flanked Odin of the icy North; and from valiant battles against Frost Giants and Cyclopes, to the heroic quests for the Golden Fleece and the Holy Grail--all accompanied by commentaries on their origins, common themes, and meanings. 505 0 $a What is mythology? -- Myths of Ancient Egypt -- Myths of Mesopotamia -- Myths of Ancient Greece -- Myths of Ancient Rome -- Myths of the Celts -- Myths of Scandinavia -- Myths of North America -- Myths of Mexico and Central America -- Myths of South America -- Myths of Africa -- Myths of Oceania -- Myths of China -- Myths of Japan -- Myths of India -- Comparative mythology. 650 0 $a Mythology. 650 0 $a Legends. 941 $a 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20181219010448.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F095BFCECA9B11E79354565397128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
