The Big Book of European Myths
Why was Prometheus really chained to the rock, and which... of the Greek heroes could defeat Zeus himself? What do the Irish Cú Chulainn, Achilles, and Thor have in common? Who is the demon Melusine, a descendant of whom was Richard the Lionheart? And where did the legends of the Wild Hunt and the cursed gold that brings misfortune to its owner come from? Answers to these and many other questions can be found on the pages of this book, and the colored and black-and-white illustrations will enrich a grand mythological journey through Europe.
This anthology will help uncover the roots of European and, more broadly, Western identity in ancient myths, discover the origins of universal archetypes, and learn to see references and allusions to myths and legends in contemporary culture, as well as perhaps inspire the creation of one's own authorial universe.
