Greek Myths & Tales
A potent pantheon of gods, heroes engaged in epic battles, fearsome mythical creatures and supernatural transformations – such fantastical elements infuse Greek myths with a wonder and excitement that’s hard to beat. These tales of love, courage, conflict and intrigue, shared for thousands of years, still exercise a powerful influence on our modern lives. This comprehensive collection of mythic stories brings to life the origins of the Greek gods and their dominion over the world of humankind. Here you’ll find Zeus and hades, Artemis and Aphrodite, with stories of demi-gods and humans alike. Jason and the Argonauts, Perseus the Gordon-Slayer and the heart-breaking tales of Troy sit alongside myths of crime and punishment, love and courage and the adventures of Heracles.
Egyptian Myths & Tales
The Egyptian pantheon of gods still holds our fascination today. Through a presentation of classic egyptological works, with a new foreword, this collection offers the stories and incantations of the ancient Egyptians, from the birth of creation by the sun god Ra, the murder of Osiris, and the revenge of Horus, to the underworld and afterlife.
Aztec Myths & Tales
This gorgeous collection explores the history, gods, calendars and tales of the Aztec people in particular, and includes the Incas, Mayans and other Mesoamerican cultures. Aztec myths explained life and death by linking them to the earth, sky and sea in a grand cosmic scheme from the war god Huitzilopochtli to the supreme deity Tezcatlipoca.
