description: In the eternal search for explanations of the mysteries of creation and existence, man’s imagination has created a vast store of myths. Every culture has had its own interpretation of what happened “in the beginning,” who designed the different sexes, how standards were set for the ideal being, when peaceful living would be possible, and why death might not be the end. Arranged for the first time in thematic groupings, here are the great stories of mythology as they have developed among the varied lands and races. Over 150 illustrations, including many extraordinarily effective original line drawings, add visual significance to the text.
