Divided into geographic regions, every page is packed with descriptions of deities and their exploits, and accompanied by vivid paintings, drawings, and full-color photographs of powerful artifacts that forge a tangible link to the myths and their culture. Despite the breadth of coverage, the Illustrated Dictionary of Mythology may not be the ideal resource for in-depth exploration of individual myths, but it makes an excellent starting point for learning about Ryujin, the Japanese Dragon King of the sea, and can quickly help you deduce who was the Polynesian moon goddess. --Brian Patterson]]> 188003 3.74 76 11 1998 5961764 0756643090 9780756643096 1 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5961764.Myths_Legends_An_Illustrated_Guide_to_Their_Origins_and_Meanings 4.75 4
