HERE, in all their wonder and splendor, are the
MythologiesofMankind frompre-Biblical
Egypt and pre-Homeric Greece to the farthest reaches
of Africa, the Orient, the Pacific, and the Americas
all gathered into one mammoth volume of
unprecedented scope and beauty, and illustrated
with an incomparable assemblage of authentic
paintings, sculpture, symbols, idols, ritual and.
sacrificial objects, many rarely seen by modern
Western eyes.
This monumental work is the first complete
encyclopedia of world mythology. Originally
published in France by the famous 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.
NEARLY 600 ILLUSTRATIONS. Open the New
Larousse Encyclopedia of Mythology and wander
spellbound through a treasure-h0use of ancient,
primitive, prehistoric, and exotic art.
The magnificent illustrations that illumine every
page including thirty-two full-color plates make
it a veritable museum in itself.
