Illustrated Dictionary of Mythology: Heroes, heroines, gods, and goddesses from around the world by Philip Wilkinson, Neil Philip

ahria's review against another edition

3.0

Like another reviewer said, this is a good cliff notes version of lots of myths in different cultures, gives you a taste so you see if any place in particular catches your interest. The visuals are neat too.

I wish they'd stressed myth variants more though- no one myth was the "true" version to that culture. And they went with the "these pagans actually believed all their gods were different faces of one god" a little too often.
