Myth Education: A Guide to Gods, Goddesses, and Other Supernatural Beings

There is a world, or perhaps a heaven, of deities outside of the Greco-Roman context, and this book looks to take you on a divine ride through those cultures to meet the gods and goddesses of ancient eras. David Fletcher, with the help of an array of sumptuous illustrations, weaves the ancient with the modern, giving a humorous and current commentary on the otherworldly of yesteryear. Many wonderful, fascinating, gruesome and downright weird (not to say oftentimes borderline inappropriate) tales and their protagonists are captured in a volume that deserves to adorn the shelves of both the armchair mythologist and interested reader, as well as the seasoned expert.
