The Encyclopedia of Classic Mythology by Arthur Cotterell
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.
Arthur Cotterell has lectured and written widely on the mythologies and ancient civilisations of the world. He is Principal of Kingston College, London and author of the best selling Dictionary of World Mythology, as well as several books on the civilisations of East Asia.
