In the first half, author Arthur Cotterell describes the central mythical figures of classical Greece and Rome, the Celtic heroes and the Nordic gods. In the second part, author Rachel Storm expertly leads us through the powerful pantheon of gods and goddesses of the East from Ancient Egypt through Central Asia, to the dragon festivals of eastern lands.

I had to get this for a class. This is very comprehensive, lots of helpful pictures, and the information is well-researched. The words are small due to the amount of info; some people may need a magnifying glass.

What a super product. The pictures are wonderful and the info is well written and comprehensive. We are big fans of Rick Riordan, but were not familiar with all of the mythologies he includes in his books. Now we can look things up.

I like to use this a reference and it gets to the point, that way I can narrow down to the myths I’d like to know more about. Overall great, only thing is I hoped it was bigger.

Originally I bought this book for information on Greek mythology but it's one of those books I find there is always something new to learn about old cultures and I find that fascinating. I've already read how Japan was formed and can't wait to learn more. I love it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not quite the ultimate
Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2013
Verified Purchase
This book is wonderfully illustrated (the illustrations is what makes this book worth getting alone) and does touch briefly on each of the minor legends (too briefly for some, Bastet's information was far too brief). I believe that there could have been more information provided on the worship of the gods and goddesses than what is here (some of the rituals can be quite fascinating). The one area that this "Ultimate Encyclopedia" falls down on though is that it doesn't include any of the mythology from the Americas, Africa (outside of Egypt), Australian Aborigines or the Polynesian cultures; I could have been a bit more generous in my rating had these been included. Leaving three continents untouched along with the island cultures fails to make this the "Ultimate".
