THE LAROUSSE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MYTHOLOGY

Richard Aldington and Delano Ames have translated and adapted the original French Encyclopedia with the assistance of experts in each field of mythology—Prehistoric, Egyptian, Assyro-Babylonian, Phoenician, Greek, Roman, Celtic, Teutonic, Slavonic, Finno-Ugric, Ancient Persian, Indian, Chinese, North and South American, Oceanian, and African. Over 800 striking photographs and drawings illustrate the well-organized and comprehensive text. Beautifully printed and bound, informative and accurate, but not at all difficult to read, this is an outstanding reference for students of sociology, anthropology, ancient art, and literature, as well as those interested in mythology.
