Appears unread; no spine crease. 7 inches tall; 402 pages with a bibliography. Myths deeply rooted in the Western tradition receive only brief treatment. If you're picking up this book, you likely know the story of God anesthetizing Adam to create Eve from his rib. Similarly, you probably have some passing familiarity with the Greco-Roman Pantheon, their emotions, weaknesses, and transgressions that led to their fall from grace as infallible Olympians. The book wisely delves deeper into lesser-known myths, exploring creation narratives from distant lands like Oceania, as well as more obscure pre-Babylonian and even pre-Zoroastrian cults.
