Félix Guirand

This book is a revision by a panel of editorial advisors from the Larousse Mythologie Générale edited by Felix Guirand; Source: LOC

Here, in all their wonder and splendor, are the Mythologies of Mankind.. from pre-biblical Egypt and pre-Homeric Greece to the farthest researches 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 scope and beauty, and illustrated with an show more 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 anthology. 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 ... from Peru to Persia, from Tahiti to Togoland. Source: Publisher show less

Useful reference. Many illustrations, a few in colour,

If I could only bring one book with me on a desert island, this would be it. Mythological stories and amazing art from all over the world.
