Myths of the World: A Thematic Encyclopedia

Divided into mythological themes, rather than in A-Z format, this reference book relates each myth to its culture and period of origin, and has detailed cross-referencing and indexing. It is intended to appeal to the serious student and general reader alike, whether they are seeking information on a particular mythological concept, or on a culture, or on an individual character. Michael Jordan is the author of "Gods of the Earth" and "Encyclopedia of Gods".
