Myths in Minutes

Neil Philip, "Myths in Minutes"
ASIN: B073TW9WLS, ISBN: 1681440628 | 2017 | AZW3 | 400 pages | 72 MB

Myths are the greatest stories ever told. Passed down over millennia, the great myths are the templates for all our stories, with their eternal themes of creation and destruction, fate and cunning, heroism and cruelty, sensuality and war.

Retold here are nearly 200 myths–from Prometheus defying Zeus to create man, to the destruction of Troy; from the reign of the sun god Ra in Egypt to the one-eyed, raven-flanked Odin of the icy North; and from valiant battles against Frost Giants and Cyclopes, to the heroic quests for the Golden Fleece and the Holy Grail–all accompanied by commentaries on their origins, common themes, and meanings.

Compellingly written, concise, and with each myth illustrated with an iconic image, Myths in Minutes is the perfect way to understand and enjoy the world's great fables.
