Publisher's Synopsis

The Book of Myths by Jean Lang is a comprehensive collection of myths and legends from various cultures around the world. The book contains stories from ancient Greece, Rome, Egypt, and the Norse and Celtic traditions, as well as tales from the Americas, Asia, and Africa. The myths are organized by theme, such as creation myths, hero myths, and tales of the gods and goddesses. Each story is presented in a clear and accessible manner, making it suitable for readers of all ages. The book also includes beautiful illustrations that bring the myths to life. Overall, The Book of Myths is an excellent resource for anyone interested in learning more about the rich and diverse mythologies of the world.In this little collection of myths, the stories are not presented to the student of folklore as a fresh contribution to his knowledge. The book is intended for those who, in the course of their reading, frequently come across names which possess for them no meaning and who care to read some old stories, through which runs the same humanity that their own hearts know.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
