The Eastern Mythology collects well-known and lesser-known mythological stories from Islamic, Hebrew, Babylonian, Egyptian, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, and other Eastern countries. It guides us into a vast mythological world, where we can appreciate the passionate and imaginative interpretations of the origins of the universe and humanity by different civilizations and ethnic groups in the East. Here, we find reverence for deities, admiration for mountains and rivers, and praise for the legendary heroes with distinct national identities. The ancient Eastern civilizations reflect their unique brilliance through their myths, constantly reminding later generations—have a heart full of reverence for the heavens.
