Review:
Early humans created myths to explain everything from the creation of the universe to death and what lies beyond, and while science offers answers for most anything we can care to ask today, myths still captivate our imagination. If you're curious about how people around the world explained the rising and setting of the sun, the Illustrated Dictionary of Mythology covers more than the usual Greek and Roman pantheons, revealing the mythos of major cultures from around the globe--Japan, North America, and Australia, just to name a few. 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
