Features: Mythology is a rare gem in the treasure trove of world literature and also the starting point for the splendid development of modern civilization. The editors adhere to the principle of "selecting famous myths and telling ancient civilizations," choosing 100 classic myths that are widely spread, highly influential, and rich in representation from around the world. These myths are organized into five major regions—Europe, Asia, Africa, the Americas, and Oceania—and introduce the myths and legends of the countries and ethnic groups in each region. Accompanied by nearly 300 exquisite illustrations that align with the text, the book presents a magnificent artistic panorama, showcasing a romantic and enchanting mythological world to readers from all angles and levels. This book aims to provide readers with a broader cultural perspective, imaginative space, and intellectual inspiration while reading the myths, through the organic integration of a scientific structure, classic stories, innovative layouts, and engaging images.
