Dictionary of Religions and Mythologies 1-Hardcover

The two-volume Dictionary of Mythologies, compiled by Yves Bonnefoy, consists of articles in alphabetical order written by more than a hundred academics in their fields of expertise. In addition to Greek and Roman mythology, it is an encyclopedic resource where you can learn about many subjects, from ritual dances for the Brazilian God Omolu to Eskimo myths about how souls migrate. In this encyclopedic resource based on the approaches of Lévi Strauss and Georges Dumézil, you will witness the functioning of mythology in societies from past to present and see the methods of understanding mythology. You will also learn which questions you should ask and which similarities you should pay attention to. You will not only read mythology but also learn about the methods of mythology.

Dictionary of Mythologies, where you can find important legends in most mythological traditions, differs from many mythology books in this respect.
