Myths of water. From the Kraken and the Flying Dutchman to the River Styx and Atlantis

Rivers, seas and oceans carry their waters through all world mythology. From the emergence of the world from the Eternal Ocean to its destruction during the Flood, in the legends and traditions of people from all over the world we encounter stories about water and its wonderful properties.
This book examines myths of different peoples associated with the water element: about sea deities and monsters, about rivers connecting worlds, about magical springs and ghost ships. Numerous illustrations demonstrate how these subjects were reflected in the imagination of artists of different eras.
