This monumental work is the first complete encyclopedia of world mythology. Originally published in France by the famouse house of Larousse, it contains of course all the well-loved myths of Classical Antiquity. But more than half the book is devoted to the strange and unfamiliar mythologies of civilizations other than our own... from Peru to Persia, from Tahiti to Togoland.
