Synopsis "A handy dictionary of mythology. For everyday readers"

In the hush of twilight, when the world softens and shadows lengthen, tales of gods and heroes have always beckoned with the promise of mystery and wonder. The urge to decipher the origins of these ancient myths-where thunderous deities clash and mortals dare the impossible-remains as compelling now as it was centuries ago. Here, the labyrinthine world of mythology is rendered accessible through a meticulously curated mythology dictionary, designed for both the everyday reader and the discerning collector. With entries that illuminate the tangled lineages of mythological figures, this work gently unravels the complexities of Greek and Roman mythology, guiding readers through a landscape where every name carries echoes of forgotten rituals and distant civilisations.

What sets this reference apart is its clarity and precision. Each definition is crafted to demystify rather than obscure, making it an invaluable mythological glossary for anyone seeking to understand the enduring power of myth. Whether you are tracing the origins of a familiar legend or encountering a lesser-known deity for the first time, the text invites curiosity and rewards close attention. The book's structure welcomes both casual browsing and deeper study, making it a classical mythology handbook that bridges the gap between scholarly depth and everyday accessibility.

This book was out of print for decades and is now republished by Alpha Editions. It has been restored for today's and future generations. This edition is not just a reprint - it's a collector's item and a cultural treasure. For those fascinated by myths and legends, or anyone beginning their journey into the world of ancient myths explained, this volume stands as both a practical everyday mythology reference and a testament to the perennial allure of storytelling across the ages.
