A beautifully illustrated anthology of myths from six ancient worldsEgypt, Greece, Rome, the Vikings, Indian Myths, and African Myths
Dramatic traditional stories are retold in a spare, lyrical style, but retain the strength and flavor of the original ancient myths in this collection from ancient civilizations around
the world. Such complex stories as Greece's "How Zeus Came to Power," the Vikings' "Odin and the Tree of Life," and Africa's "Anansi and the Stories" are brought alive
through spare narrative, richly evocative pictures, and plenty of extra information such as character family trees and abundant sidebars offering additional historical background.
