Oxford Dictionary of World Mythology

The Oxford Dictionary of World Mythology examines the mythological figures across a wide range of global cultures and religions. It presents the powerful gods of Greece, Rome, and Scandinavia, the more mystical deities of Buddhist and Hindu India, and the stern spirits of the African and American continents. Drawing upon hundreds of myths from around the globe, it not only reveals the vast differences in these civilizations, but also demonstrates the unity of mankind in its fundamental need for explanations of the unknown.

Also includes advanced search tools and features that have become the staple of quality Oxford reference apps from MobiSystems.
